How it works

From zero to production in 15 minutes. No sales calls. No architecture reviews. Connect, deploy, ship.

OwnKube operates as a control plane that manages infrastructure in your cloud account. Your code, data, and compute never leave your environment.

Connect, deploy, ship

1. Connect your cloud account

   Securely connect your AWS account with a least-privilege IAM role. OwnKube provisions the base infrastructure in your account. We never see your application data.

2. Deploy your first app

   Push your code via Git. OwnKube auto-detects your framework, builds your container, and handles zero-downtime rollouts. No pipeline configuration required.

3. Ship and forget

   From day one, your platform monitors infrastructure — detecting errors, optimizing costs, and tuning performance. Ship features while OwnKube handles operations.

What runs where

Component	Location	Details
Your applications	Your AWS account	Runs inside your VPC on your compute
Your databases	Your AWS account	Provisioned in your VPC with encryption at rest
OwnKube control plane	OwnKube managed	Orchestrates deployments and intelligent operations
Build pipeline	OwnKube managed	Builds are executed securely and artifacts pushed to your ECR

Security model

• Least-privilege access — OwnKube only requests the minimum IAM permissions needed
• No data egress — application data stays in your account
• Vanilla infrastructure — standard Kubernetes, no proprietary lock-in
• Disconnect anytime — your infrastructure keeps running without OwnKube
