Introduction
When you install Tableau Server on an Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance, you still have the advanced capabilities of Tableau Server in a local environment. Running Tableau Server on an ECS instance is an excellent choice if you want the flexibility of scaling up and scaling out without having to purchase and maintain an expensive fleet of servers. For instance, you can configure Tableau Server to be highly available, and integrate with all the common enterprise applications (for example, Active Directory) that many organisations rely on.
