On-Premises

Connect your own infrastructure so Vantage can schedule workloads on hardware you control.

Vantage supports two on-premises provider types.

Type	What it's for
LXD	System containers on a server you own. Vantage connects via HTTPS and manages container workloads. Good for multi-tenant dev/test and smaller batch jobs.
On-Premises	Direct integration for bare-metal or privately managed servers. Use when your infrastructure is reachable from the Vantage control plane.

LXD setup

LXD requires three credentials: the server URL, a client certificate, and a client key.

1. Go to Admin > Cloud Accounts.
2. Click Create Cloud Account and select LXD.
3. Enter an Account name and optional description.
4. Enter the Server URL (e.g. https://your-lxd-server:8443).
5. Paste the Client Certificate and Client Key.
6. Submit.

tip

On-premises accounts carry no cloud spend per se — but your hardware runs continuously. Idle nodes still consume power, cooling, and rack space. Plan capacity around your actual workload schedule.
