    Deployment Options

    ContinueOps is available as managed SaaS, a hybrid connector, or a self-hosted appliance. Choose the model that matches your data residency, network, and operational requirements.

    Managed SaaS (Recommended)

    Included in every plan

    Recommended

    The fastest way to get started. We host the control plane and execution agent; you access the dashboard and API. Tenant isolation, encrypted storage, and automatic updates are included.

    No infrastructure required

    Sign up and start building runbooks immediately

    Automatic updates

    Always on the latest release with no maintenance windows

    Tenant isolation

    Row-level security and encrypted storage per tenant

    Included in every plan

    No extra hosting charges

    Hybrid Connector

    ContinueOps hosts the control plane while a signed Rust connector runs inside your VPC. Runbooks are fetched over mTLS and executed locally, so cloud credentials never leave your network.

    ContinueOps SaaS

    Control plane - runbook editor, approvals, audit log, dashboards.

    • Runbook registry
    • Approvals (HOL)
    • Evidence + reports

    IAM credentials never leave this boundary.

    • Outbound-only mTLS - No inbound ports; works behind NAT and firewalls
    • Credentials stay local - IAM roles and secrets remain in your VPC
    • Lightweight binary - Single statically-linked executable with signed releases

    Self-Host (ContinueOS Appliance)

    Run the full stack on your own infrastructure for complete control over data residency and update cadence. Ships as a pre-configured appliance image.

    • Air-gapped updates - Apply signed update bundles without outbound connectivity
    • No inbound ports - Outbound-only mTLS to any required services
