If you're a developer working on AI applications, you know Zilliz Cloud. This fully managed Milvus vector database has empowered various use cases, including retrieval augment generation (RAG) and recommender systems. Available across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, Zilliz Cloud offers highly performant vector databases, cost-effective computing options, and the ability to handle data at a billion-level scale.
This week, we were thrilled to announce a new milestone. AWS developers have already enjoyed the benefits of our integration into AWS Marketplace, and now, we're excited to bring the same convenience to Google Cloud's developers. With Zilliz Cloud now available on Google Cloud Marketplace, you can take advantage of Google Cloud's infrastructure and resources with simplified payment methods.
Why does this matter?
AI developers increasingly seek vector databases like Zilliz Cloud, and we're focused on streamlining their experience. Previously, using Zilliz Cloud on Google Cloud involved extra payment and procurement steps, complicating billing for developers.
Now, Zilliz Cloud is available through the GCP marketplace, allowing subscription with your existing Google Cloud account. This integration simplifies billing, as Zilliz Cloud charges appear on your regular Google Cloud bill.
This integration also offers flexibility to scale your Zilliz Cloud usage on Google Cloud without detailed budget planning. Your Zilliz Cloud usage counts towards your Google Cloud commitment, optimizing resource allocation.
