# Deployment environments

> Run tracebloc anywhere — local, bare-metal, EKS, AKS, or OpenShift. Same chart, same steps, your choice of infrastructure.

tracebloc runs the same way everywhere: one chart (`tracebloc/client`), one set of steps, your choice of infrastructure. **Local is a first-class production option** — a workspace on an on-prem server is every bit as real as one on a managed cloud cluster.

## Pick your environment

| Environment                                                  | Runs on                     | GPU                         | Best when                                               |
| ------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------- | --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Local / k3d](/environment-setup/deploy-local)               | One machine you own         | NVIDIA / AMD, auto-detected | A laptop or a single on-prem server — the fastest start |
| [Bare-metal](/environment-setup/deploy-bare-metal)           | Your own Kubernetes cluster | Your nodes                  | You already run on-prem Kubernetes                      |
| [Amazon EKS](/environment-setup/eks-client-deployment-guide) | AWS (managed)               | GPU nodegroups              | You're on AWS and want managed, autoscaling compute     |
| [Azure AKS](/environment-setup/deploy-aks)                   | Azure (managed)             | GPU node pools              | You're on Azure                                         |
| [OpenShift](/environment-setup/deploy-openshift)             | OpenShift / OKD             | Your nodes                  | You run Red Hat OpenShift                               |

<Note>
  Just want it running fast on one machine? The [Quick Start](/environment-setup/quickstart) one-liner is the local path with zero configuration.

## Every environment, same shape

Each guide follows the same six headings, so you always know where to look:

**When to pick it · Prerequisites · Install · Verify · Environment-specific config · Production notes.**

Adding a new target later (GKE, on-prem k3s, …) means filling the same template. All environments deploy the same chart — see [Configuration](/environment-setup/configuration) for every value, and [Operations](/environment-setup/operations) for day-2 management.
