Platform architecture

Outerbounds employs a bring-your-own-cloud or cloud-prem deployment model. This means all data processing, computation, private models, and development on workstations occur within the customer's accounts, across clouds and on-prem resources (the top boxes). Consequently, no data leaves the customer's cloud premises unless there is an explicit opt-in to use external compute resources or services, such as GPUs from the NVIDIA cloud.

Outerbounds operates a control plane account (the bottom box) to monitor, manage, and secure all components running in the customer's account. To enable these services, the control plane collects infrastructure telemetry from the deployed components. Additionally, the control plane hosts the user interface, allowing you to monitor metadata and logs on the platform without it having to permanently store any of this information.
