OnPrem Copilot

Overview

We have already automated [Bring Your Own Account (BYOA)][/usecase/byoa] deployments, allowing customers to deploy, manage, and scale their infrastructure within their own cloud accounts. However, some customers require an on-prem solution that provides greater control, security, and minimal external dependencies.

This document outlines the challenges, assumptions, and user flow for On-Prem Copilot solution.

Assumptions

For the On-Prem Copilot deployment, we assume:

  • Your customers are using AWS, GCP, or Azure as their cloud provider.
  • Your customers have internet access to download your images from a secure registry.
  • The installation process will set up infrastructure from scratch in their cloud account or VPC, without assuming pre-existing resources.
  • Your customers are open to temporarily establishing a trust relationship (adhering to cloud best practices and guidelines) with your account for deployment and upgrades, which can be removed post-installation if desired.

If your requirements are not met, please contact support@omnistrate.com and we would love to discuss your use-case further.
