Run Octopus as SaaS, in your cloud, or on bare metal
The platform does not change shape based on where it runs. Choose the model your policy, network posture, and sovereignty rules require.
Where Octopus runs
Managed service, customer cloud, or disconnected infrastructure. Agents, integrations, and operator workflows stay the same in every model.
Three models, one platform
The same integrations, rule engine, agents, and operator interface in every column. A procedure written in one model runs unchanged in the others.
| Aspect | Managed SaaS | Customer Cloud (AWS / Azure / GCP) | Offline / Bare Metal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who operates it | Octopus | Your cloud and platform teams | Your infrastructure team |
| Where data lives | Octopus cloud regions | Your cloud account and region | Your facility or dark site |
| Compute and orchestration | Octopus-managed | EKS, AKS, or GKE in your VPC | Kubernetes, VMs, or rack servers |
| Network posture | Outbound connections from sites | Inside your VPC or VNet | Fully inside your perimeter; air-gapped where required |
| AI inference | Octopus-hosted models | In your cloud tenancy | On-prem models; no outbound calls |
| GIS and map tiles | Managed tile service | Your cloud or approved tiles | Local / offline tile caches |
| Updates and patching | Octopus | Scheduled with your change process | Media or staged transfer you approve |
| Typical fit | Multi-site commercial operations, guarding companies | Regulated enterprises with cloud standards | Banking, government, defense, emergency centres |
Edge connectors to the core you choose
Site systems stay where they are. Edge connectors bridge cameras, access, sensors, drones, and SIEM into the Octopus core (SaaS, your cloud VPC, or a bare-metal cluster) and out to operator consoles and mobile responders.

From sizing to cutover
The same sequence in every model. Only who provisions the environment and where the bits land changes.
01 / 04Scope
- 01Confirm sites, connectors, and residency
- 02Choose SaaS, cloud VPC, or bare metal
- 03Size compute, storage, and AI inference
- 04Map identity and network boundaries
- 01Confirm air-gap and local map tiles
- 02Size GPU nodes for on-prem inference
- 03Lock Entra ID / AD as the IdP
Your identity provider, your keys, your perimeter
Sign-in, privilege, and encryption follow the model you already run. The platform does not invent a parallel identity system.
Certified for the environments that demand proof
The same certification set applies across SaaS, customer cloud, and on-premise installs where the certified scope covers the deployment.
