Quick start with Exasol Personal
Exasol Personal is a completely free, single-user edition of Exasol with all enterprise features included. It runs in your own cloud infrastructure or on your local machine, and is deployed using Exasol Launcher, a cross-platform command-line tool that runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Exasol Personal can be deployed in the cloud on AWS, Microsoft Azure, Exoscale, and STACKIT, or locally on your own system (only macOS is currently supported).

Quick start with Exasol SaaS
Exasol SaaS is a fully-managed cloud service built on top of the Exasol database architecture. Using Amazon S3 as a storage backend, one database can support multiple compute clusters that all access the same data, providing flexibility for organizations to split and isolate workloads on demand.
