​
Use W&B Self-Managed on cloud or on-prem infrastructure

W&B recommends fully managed deployment options such as W&B Multi-tenant Cloud or W&B Dedicated Cloud deployment types. W&B fully managed services are simple and secure to use, with minimum to no configuration required.
Deploy W&B Server on your AWS, GCP, or Azure cloud account or within your on-premises infrastructure. Your IT/DevOps/MLOps team is responsible for:
  • Provisioning your deployment.
  • Securing your infrastructure in accordance with your organization’s policies and Security Technical Implementation Guidelines (STIG), if applicable.
  • Managing upgrades and applying patches.
  • Continuously maintaining your Self-Managed W&B Server instance.

​
Deploy W&B Server within Self-Managed cloud accounts

W&B recommends that you use official W&B Terraform scripts to deploy W&B Server into your AWS, GCP, or Azure cloud account. See specific cloud provider documentation for more information on how to set up W&B Server in AWS, GCP, or Azure.

​
Deploy W&B Server in on-prem infrastructure

To set up W&B Server in your on-premises infrastructure, you need to configure several infrastructure components. Some of those components include, but are not limited to:
  • (Strongly recommended) Kubernetes cluster
  • MySQL 8 database cluster
  • Amazon S3-compatible object storage
  • Redis cache cluster
See Install on on-prem infrastructure for detailed instructions to install W&B Server on your on-prem infrastructure. W&B can provide recommendations for the different components and provide guidance through the installation process.

​
Deploy W&B Server on a custom cloud platform

You can deploy W&B Server to a cloud platform that is not AWS, GCP, or Azure. Requirements for that are similar to that for deploying in on-prem infrastructure.

​
Obtain your W&B Server license

You need a W&B trial license to complete your configuration of the W&B server. Open the Deploy Manager to generate a free trial license.
If you do not already have a W&B account, create one to generate your free license.If you need an enterprise license for W&B Server which includes support for important security & other enterprise-friendly capabilities, submit this form or reach out to your W&B team.
The URL redirects you to a Get a License for W&B Local form. Provide the following information:
  1. Choose a deployment type from the Choose Platform step.
  2. Select the owner of the license or add a new organization in the Basic Information step.
  3. Provide a name for the instance in the Name of Instance field and optionally provide a description in the Description field in the Get a License step.
  4. Select the Generate License Key button.
A page displays with an overview of your deployment along with the license associated with the instance.
