Deploy the control plane and the data plane on your own servers for the most secure environment. SaaS Deployment

​
Deployment options

Mage Pro supports two modes of on-prem deployment. The Mage team will provide all necessary deliverables and installation support.

​
1. Kubernetes cluster

Run Mage Pro in your own on-prem Kubernetes cluster for production-grade orchestration and scalability. This includes Kubernetes distributions such as Red Hat OpenShift, Rancher, or other enterprise Kubernetes platforms. Deliverables from Mage:
  • Helm chart(s) pre-configured for Mage Pro (control plane, scheduler, and executor pods)
  • Docker image (if your environment does not have internet access) or secure registry credentials to pull the image (if your cluster has network access)
  • Configuration templates for networking, secrets, monitoring, and scaling
  • Documentation and best practices for integrating with your Kubernetes environment
Highlights:
  • Pod-level isolation for workspaces and jobs
  • Leverage Kubernetes-native scaling, security, and monitoring
  • Recommended for enterprise-grade, multi-team deployments

​
2. Docker

For environments without Kubernetes, Mage Pro can be deployed directly on Docker. This simplifies setup while still providing workspace/job isolation using containers. Deliverables from Mage:
  • Docker images for Mage Pro services
    • Air-gapped environments (no internet): Mage team provides image files directly
    • Connected environments: Mage team provides secure registry credentials to pull images
  • Docker Compose file with all required configuration
Highlights:
  • Quick and easy installation with minimal infrastructure requirements
  • Run the Mage Pro control plane in a long-running Docker container
  • Option to run pipeline jobs in separate, short-lived containers (for isolation) or locally within the same container process (Pro-only feature)
  • Workspaces can also run in their own dedicated containers (Pro-only feature)
  • Ideal for smaller teams or environments without Kubernetes

​
License key

A valid Mage Pro license key is required for all on-prem deployments.
  • The license key is provided when you purchase Mage Pro.
  • It must be included in your deployment configuration (Kubernetes or Docker) before the server will start.
  • License keys can be rotated at any time without downtime.

​
Benefits

  • Maximum security: All services and data stay within your on-prem environment.
  • Flexibility: Choose between Kubernetes (e.g., OpenShift) or Docker depending on your infra maturity.
  • Consistency: Same Mage Pro features and workspace management UI across deployment modes.
