Choose between our **SaaS**, **Self-Hosted (Teleskope-Managed or Self-Managed)**, and **On-Premise** models based on your cloud, DevOps, and data locality requirements. {% hint style="info" %} **First sign-in uses a guided onboarding flow.** However you deploy, your first administrator finishes setup in the browser — naming the workspace, choosing an identity provider (or verifying by email), selecting connectors, and inviting teammates. To start, Teleskope just needs the email address of your first admin (your "onboarding user"); that person receives a one-time setup link to begin. {% endhint %} *** ## Single-Tenant SaaS #### Hosted & Operated entirely by Teleskope in an isolated AWS account. * Fully managed by Teleskope with zero infra overhead * Each customer gets a dedicated AWS instance and account * Rapid onboarding with minimal DevOps involvement * All upgrades, monitoring, and scaling handled by Teleskope * Ideal for teams that want a hands-off, turnkey deployment ## Self-Hosted #### Deploy into your own AWS, GCP, or Azure environment for greater control. #### *Teleskope-Managed* * Hosted in your isolated cloud environment (AWS, GCP, Azure) * Fully managed by Teleskope (scaling, upgrades, monitoring) * Ideal for cloud tenancy compliance needs * No operational overhead for your internal teams #### *Self-Managed* * Fully operated and maintained by your internal DevOps/SRE teams * Teleskope provides Helm charts, artifacts, and deployment docs * Supports isolated environments and air-gapped deployments * Full control over data, security, and deployment timelines ### On-Premise **Run Teleskope within your internal datacenter** to scan **on-premise SQL databases** and **file shares** without exfiltration costs back to the cloud. *** If your needs are not met by either model, reach out to your Teleskope rep, or email us at .
