Architecture Overview

In this configuration, Robust Intelligence hosts and manages the control plane on behalf of your organization, and the data plane remains within your environment.

This means that your data and models stay within your organization’s cloud, and you have full control over the compute infrastructure for model testing. Results of these tests are uploaded to the Robust Intelligence cloud, where they are served by a dedicated control plane cluster.

By licensing the control plane from Robust Intelligence, you can greatly reduce the amount of infrastructure that you must maintain in your environment! Rather than deploying a full Kubernetes cluster, you only need to deploy a data plane agent for model testing, which we’ve made available as a single Helm chart.

To begin the deployment, start by verifying the Requirements.

Local Agent

For rapid experimentation using local files on your personal machine (no cloud environment setup needed), the data plane agent can also be deployed locally! In this configuration, the agent would run on a local Kubernetes cluster (e.g., kind or Minikube).

Note that we only recommend this configuration for exploratory purposes.

See Local Agent for more details on setup and usage.
