{{site.data.keyword.discoveryshort}} is available both as a service that is hosted by {{site.data.keyword.cloud_notm}} and as a service that you install on {{site.data.keyword.icp4dfull_notm}}. Learn about these deployment solutions and how they differ. {: shortdesc}
The product user interface and APIs are mostly equivalent regardless of whether you use the managed or installed version of the service. The few differences between the two solutions include:
- How you deploy and set up the service
- The underlying technology that is used to crawl data sources
- Limits for things like the maximum number of documents and enrichments or file sizes
- Who to contact for support and how you share product feedback
Although the documentation that describes how to use the product is the same (what you're reading now), more documentation about how to install and administer the service in {{site.data.keyword.icp4dfull_notm}} is available from the {{site.data.keyword.icp4dfull_notm}} product documentation{: external} that is hosted in IBM Documentation.
To keep up with product changes, check the following topics periodically:
- [IBM Cloud Pak for Data]{: tag-cp4d} Release notes for {{site.data.keyword.icp4dfull_notm}} service instances
- [IBM Cloud]{: tag-ibm-cloud} Release notes for {{site.data.keyword.cloud_notm}} service instances
{: #cloud-v-data-comparison}
The following table describes the feature support differences between the two deployment types.
The features that are listed in the {{site.data.keyword.cloud_notm}} column apply to service instances that are deployed from {{site.data.keyword.icp4dfull_notm}} as a Service also. {: note}
