Overview
ClickHouse Private is a self-deployed package consisting of the same proprietary version of ClickHouse that runs on ClickHouse Cloud and our ClickHouse Operator, configured for separation of compute and storage.

The following features differentiate ClickHouse Private from self-managed open source deployments:
- Native separation of compute and storage
- Proprietary cloud features such as shared merge tree and warehouse functionality
- ClickHouse database and operator versions fully tested and validated in ClickHouse Cloud
- API for programmatic operations, including backups and scaling operations
