Deployments on public clouds continue to be supported but the content for third-party public cloud deployments is no longer updated.

For the latest Tableau Server deployment content, see the Deploy section of Tableau Server help.

For those customers who have access, we recommend Tableau Cloud. For more details, see:

Introduction

To work with Tableau Server in the Alibaba Cloud, you will need:

  • An Alibaba Cloud account. If you don't already have one, sign up for a new account.

  • A Tableau Server license.

    • For a standalone Tableau Server deployment, you must contact sales for a product key.

    • For a cluster-based deployment, you need a user-based license (which covers all authorized users of Tableau Server), a core-based license (with a minimum of 16 cores), or a Tableau Server subscription license. To obtain a product key, contact sales.

    For more information about Tableau Server licensing options, see Licensing Overview.
