Bring Your Own Cloud lets an organization power its product with infrastructure inside its own AWS account or GCP project.
MIOSA remains the orchestration and product control plane.
Activation gated Infrastructure packages builtControl plane and customer cloud
The customer controls the cloud account, network, identity policies, provider resources, and provider bill.
MIOSA controls desired capacity, workload placement, immutable runtime generations, acceptance, scheduling, drain, and reconciliation.
What runs where
| Layer | MIOSA control plane | Customer cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Organization and workspace policy | Yes | No |
| Desired capacity and placement | Yes | Reflected by worker capacity |
| Provider IAM and networking | Validated and orchestrated | Created and owned |
| Worker hosts | Observed and scheduled | Executed and billed |
| Firecracker workloads | Requested and tracked | Executed |
| Host runtime artifacts | Identified and verified | Downloaded and installed |
| Customer data stores | Bound by the application | Customer-selected |
| Acceptance evidence | Recorded | Produced by the host |
Provider support
Terraform and CloudFormation packages define private multi-AZ worker foundations, scoped IAM, immutable templates, and fail-closed acceptance.
Terraform defines the service account, network, firewall, instance template, artifact access, and acceptance handoff.
Customer onboarding path
Infrastructure creation does not make a region live.
Placement begins only after provider preflight, one real host acceptance, recorded evidence, and explicit enablement.
