Subscribe to CrateDB Cloud via the AWS Marketplace¶
One way to deploy a cluster on CrateDB Cloud is to sign up via AWS Marketplace. You will need an AWS Marketplace account to proceed, which for the purposes of this tutorial we will assume you have. (If not, you can sign up on the Marketplace page.) By using CrateDB Cloud’s service on AWS Marketplace, your hourly usage is billed directly by Amazon, not by Crate.io.
As a SaaS service, the subscription payment is arranged through AWS. The cluster will be hosted in the region you select as part of the configuration process. If you are looking for a self-hosted CrateDB Cloud service, check out the CrateDB Cloud on Kubernetes tutorial. To pay directly for a hosted cluster by credit card, see the tutorial for direct cluster deployment.

Simply subscribe to it as you would to the CrateDB Cloud subscription. A screen will appear where you can confirm your subscription plan and review the prices once more.
