Kubeark provides a variety of deployment options, ensuring flexibility and catering to the diverse needs of our customers.

# On-premises/Private/Public Cloud (Customer Managed)

Customers have the option to choose the **on-premises deployment model**, where they can run Kubeark on either physical or virtual machines within their hardware and infrastructure. This can be done in their own data center or on their premises.

This model is especially beneficial for organizations that require complete control over their infrastructure and data, including those operating in areas with limited internet connectivity, or running an airgapped, regulated environment.

Alternatively, you can also opt for a **private or public cloud hosting such as MS Azure **(customer managed service).

This allows customers to have more control over their deployment while still having the flexibility to choose the hosting option that suits their needs.
