On-Prem, Air-Gapped & Sovereign AI: Deployment Models Explained

Where AI runs decides who controls the data. Here is the full spectrum, from fully isolated to fully managed. Terms covered: - On-Premises: software and infrastructure inside your own data centers. No data leaves the building. - Air-Gapped: completely isolated from all external networks, including the internet. Used in defense, intelligence and critical national infrastructure. - Cloud and SaaS: computing delivered over the internet, scalable and flexible, with data on third-party servers - VPC (Virtual Private Cloud): a private, dedicated section inside a public cloud - Sovereign AI: infrastructure owned, operated and controlled within a specific country or jurisdiction, so data, models and compute never cross into foreign infrastructure - Kubernetes: the open-source platform that automates deployment and scaling of AI workloads wherever they run The right model depends on who you are, what data you handle and what your obligations are. — AI Fundamentals Glossary | H2O.ai University Full playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAWKlIKS-66E Free courses and certifications: https://h2o.ai/university #SovereignAI #AirGapped #EnterpriseAI #AIGlossary #H2Oai
