Deployment Guide (SaaS)

A CloudSoda deployment consists of the CloudSoda Controller and CloudSoda agents. The CloudSoda Controller is the Web Portal and APIs that users interact with directly, while the agents are external application clients that interact with the data storage. The CloudSoda Controller can be deployed in your environment (CloudSoda Server) or ours (CloudSoda SaaS). For instructions on setting up and configuring the Server Controller please see Deployment Guide (Server).
