Hi. What is the overlap and important differences in features between Prefect Server and Prefect Cloud. I couldn’t find anything in the Prefect docs site that dealt with this. Context: We’re on Prefect Cloud now. We’re looking to upgrade our plan. Currently on a legacy plan WELL within the free tier, but we wanted to add additional users which requires setting up billing. Our procurement team got pricing that is a massive jump from $0/month. So much of a jump that we will have to either move to Prefect Server or move to AWS Managed Airflow. So trying to figure out what a change to Prefect Server might mean.

Given that we are working on Prefect 2.0, the distinction between Prefect Server 1.0 and Cloud 1.0 is somehow a bit less relevant since it may be easier to use Prefect 2.0 if you are getting started with Prefect. but this page is what you are looking for https://docs.prefect.io/orchestration/getting-started/set-up.html
I believe the best thing you can do is to chat about your use case with sales@prefect.io
Since you are looking for user management, there is no such feature in Prefect Server, unfortunately. and make sure you calculate the TCO of MWAA, from my experience using it, it can get expensive quite quickly (just something to consider)

Yeah, I think it’s $350/mo just for turning it on without any workers, but that’s far less than the sales quote according to our procurement people. I’ll sort those things out. If I’m currently using Cloud how might we cut over to or test out Prefect 2.0?
