Install Calyptia Core
You can deploy Calyptia Core on many different platforms, including Linux, Kubernetes, or even your laptop.
General architecture overview
Calyptia Core deploys within your infrastructure, whether it's an existing Kubernetes cluster, your laptop (using a tool like kind or minikube), or a Linux server. Calyptia Core configuration is managed within our cloud console at https://core.calyptia.com (opens in a new tab).
All data is processed within your environment, virtual private cloud, or your infrastructure. The only data sent to Calyptia are configuration files and metrics.
