understanding between plugin and extentions

[chandu]

Can some one explain what exactly the difference is between Plugins and Extensions? 
I have seen documentation on plugins and tool tips of each of them but could not differentiate much.
Thanks

Hi @chandu,
If you are referring to the Dataiku Cloud

1) Plugins would be the existing plugin available in the Plugin store :
https://www.dataiku.com/product/plugins/ Note some may not be visible in the launchpad or compatible/applicable to Dataiku Cloud.
2) Extensions, on the other hand, would be used to install specific features like Automation or API nodes, Git integration or Spark-on-K8s etc.  These actions would be performed from Administration for  Installed DSS but as there is access to no Administration these tasks are performed from Extensions. 

Thanks,
