MIOSA-managed
MIOSA operates the compute, networking, host lifecycle, and capacity.
Best for fast onboarding and products that do not require a customer-owned cloud boundary.
MIOSA can orchestrate products across infrastructure operated by MIOSA or controlled by the customer.
The application keeps one resource model and control plane while placement determines where work executes.

OpenComputers
Connect individual machines through an outbound agent session.
Best for workstations, local models, owned servers, and desktop workflows.
Bring Your Own Cloud
Install a governed MIOSA worker region inside a customer AWS or GCP environment.
Best for cloud-account ownership, private networking, and enterprise infrastructure policy.
Hybrid placement
Keep governed workloads in customer infrastructure and use other capacity only where policy permits.
Placement remains explicit per organization, workspace, environment, and workload.

Your product should not need a different workflow for every provider.
MIOSA resolves the target, checks policy and capacity, dispatches work, and reports one status and evidence shape.
Bring Your Own Cloud is not a second, disconnected MIOSA installation.
MIOSA remains the orchestration authority while workload hosts, cloud resources, and provider billing remain inside the customer’s account or project.
