# Sandbox Deployments

StateSet Sandbox can be deployed on major cloud providers. Use the provider-specific guides for step-by-step instructions and infrastructure requirements.

## Choosing a provider

All three run the same controller and runtime on managed Kubernetes. Pick on where the rest of your
infrastructure lives, not on capability.

| Provider  | Cluster | Guide                                                                   |
| --------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **AWS**   | EKS     | [AWS deployment](/stateset-sandbox/stateset-sandbox-deployment-aws)     |
| **GCP**   | GKE     | [GCP deployment](/stateset-sandbox/stateset-sandbox-deployment-gcp)     |
| **Azure** | AKS     | [Azure deployment](/stateset-sandbox/stateset-sandbox-deployment-azure) |

## What every deployment needs

Regardless of provider:

* A managed Kubernetes cluster with room for the controller and runtime pods
* A container registry the cluster can pull from
* An ingress controller and TLS termination
* Network policy allowing the controller to reach the runtime, and nothing else to

<Warning>
  Sandboxes execute untrusted code. Network policy is not optional hardening here — it is what stops
  a sandboxed process reaching the rest of your cluster. Read the
  [security guide](/stateset-sandbox/stateset-sandbox-security-guide) before the first production
  deploy, not after.
</Warning>

## Before you go to production

The provider guides get a cluster running. These decide whether it survives contact with real
workloads:
