Overview

Milvus is an open source, cloud native vector database for AI and similarity search. You create collections, insert embedding vectors and run low latency approximate nearest neighbour search with IVF, HNSW and DiskANN indexes and metadata filtering. It underpins retrieval augmented generation and semantic search workloads.

Why the cloudimg image

The cloudimg image ships the official standalone stack of etcd, MinIO and the Milvus server as a system service, hardened with metadata, object and segment data on a dedicated resizable disk. Authentication is enabled and first boot rotates the database root password into a root only file, so no default credentials ship. Backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
