It is commonly used for real time analytics, log, and event analysis, and machine learning capabilities to support AI use cases. By offering ClickHouse on the Instaclustr Managed Platform, NetApp is enabling businesses to leverage these capabilities without the operational complexities typically associated with self-managed solutions but with the same great features, service, and reliability that customers know and love from other technologies supported by Instaclustr. This preview release is being made available publicly with the opportunity for customers to provide feedback and influence our development process as we incrementally add features (like backups and restores, tiered storage, and more) towards a general availability release. It quickly follows on from our [previous announcement](https://www.instaclustr.com/blog/clickhouse-is-now-ga/) on Instaclustr for ClickHouse being made available in GA on AWS. This [new offering](https://www.instaclustr.com/platform/managed-clickhouse/) expands Instaclustr’s portfolio of managed open source technologies like Apache Kafka®, Redis™/Valkey™, and PostgreSQL®. Kafka, in particular, is frequently chosen in data preparation pipelines for ClickHouse workloads while [PostgreSQL](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/engines/table-engines/integrations/postgresql) and [Redis](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/engines/table-engines/integrations/redis)/Valkey are supported natively by ClickHouse via specific table engines. All these offerings can be manually configured to work with ClickHouse today, and we will be working in the coming months to provide a simplified and seamless experience when using these technologies together on the Instaclustr Managed Platform. This underscores our dedication to providing comprehensive, fully managed solutions that help businesses harness the power of open source technologies without the operational hassles. In preview on Azure, Instaclustr for ClickHouse includes many features that our customers have come to expect from the Instaclustr Managed Platform, accessible through our console, API, and Terraform Provider. We are continuously enhancing the service, adding capabilities such as data tiering and scaling support as we approach the General Availability (GA) milestone for Azure. In the near future, we will expand support to additional cloud providers and on-premises deployments. Additionally, we have updated the lifecycle states for our older supported ClickHouse versions (as per our [lifecycle policy](https://www.instaclustr.com/support/documentation/useful-information/lifecycle-policy/)). Customers running on older versions are encouraged to reach out to us and schedule an upgrade to a GA version. More details on all ClickHouse versions supported on our managed platform are available [here](https://www.instaclustr.com/support/documentation/useful-information/lifecycle-status-of-application-versions/#section-clickhouse-top). During preview, customers will be supported by our 24×7 expert support team, and upon reaching GA will also be covered by industry-leading production [Service Level Agreements](https://www.netapp.com/media/77218-SLA-Instaclustr-by-NetApp.pdf) (SLAs).
