What Huawei CloudTable ClickHouse is
Huawei CloudTable ClickHouse is a managed columnar database for online analytical processing. It runs SQL queries and performs fast aggregation on large, wide tables for online queries, data warehousing, data marts, and real-time analysis. Huawei describes workloads ranging from gigabytes to petabytes, while CloudTable also provides HBase and Doris services. ClickHouse clusters offer compute configurations from 8U32G to 128U512G, storage from 100 GB to 10,000 GB per node, and sizes from two to 40 nodes. Billing can be pay-per-use or yearly/monthly, with pay-per-use selected by default during cluster creation. Cold-hot data separation places data on different storage media. The console provides monitoring metrics and alarms and supports specification changes, node expansion, and disk expansion. Setup requires a Huawei Cloud account, real-name authentication, and assigned permissions. Channel encryption can use HTTPS and secure TCP ports; once enabled at creation, it cannot be disabled later. Huawei documents TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3 for personal data in transit.
Who it suits
CloudTable ClickHouse suits teams running analytical queries, warehouses, data marts, or real-time analysis at varied data volumes. It is intended for users able to manage Huawei Cloud accounts, permissions, networking, and cluster settings.
What it does well

Limits
No free plan is available. For pay-per-use, compute is billed in one-hour cycles, with partial hours counted as full hours.
Plans
| Plan | Billed and limits | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Yearly/Monthly | Prepaid for the purchased duration; the console displays the actual price. · Cluster compute, storage capacity, and number of nodes determine charges | On request |
| Pay-per-use | Compute and storage are billed by usage; compute is charged in one-hour billing cycles, with partial hours counted as full hours. · Cluster compute, storage capacity, and number of nodes determine charges | On request |

Getting started
- Create or use a Huawei Cloud account.
- Complete real-name authentication and obtain the required account and user-group permissions.
- Create a ClickHouse cluster and select compute, storage, and node count.
- Choose pay-per-use or yearly/monthly billing; pay-per-use is selected by default.
- If needed, enable channel encryption during cluster creation.
- Install a ClickHouse client on an ECS in the cluster's region, availability zone, VPC, subnet, and security group.
Verdict
CloudTable ClickHouse provides managed analytical clusters with configurable compute, storage, billing, and scaling. Check access prerequisites, encryption choices, and the documented ClickHouse support lifecycle before deployment.
Questions
