What does AI agent deployment and infrastructure include? +
It includes running the agent in your cloud account or private network (VPC): containers and CI/CD, secrets in your vault, hosted or open-weight model hosting, queues and scaling workers, rollback and runbooks, and on-call handover to your team. The infrastructure code stays in your repository.
Can AI agents run in our own cloud or on-premises? +
Yes, in your cloud account or a private network (VPC), under your identity, logging and data residency rules. A fully on-premises setup, with an open-weight model on your own hardware, is scoped per project and tested on your cases first.
Should we use a hosted model or an open-weight model? +
Use a hosted model to start quickly and for hard tasks; use an open-weight model on your hardware when data must stay inside your network or volume is high enough for it to cost less. We decide per workload, often with both in one system, and test the choice on your own cases.
How do you handle secrets and access to our systems? +
Keys and credentials go into your secrets vault, never into the code or the repository. Each service gets only the access it needs, and the agent's calls to your systems go through the identity and network rules your security team already applies.
What happens when a release goes wrong? +
The previous release stays ready, so rolling back is one step, and we rehearse it with your team before go-live. Alerts and runbooks tell the person on call what to check and when to roll back.
How is this different from your LLMOps service? +
This service sets up where and how the agent runs: environment, containers, secrets, model hosting, scaling and handover. LLMOps covers the ongoing release of prompt and model changes on top of that, with evaluation gates, staged rollouts and cost tracking.
Can you deploy an agent another team built? +
Yes. We review the code and its dependencies, package it for your environment, move secrets out of the code and add the pipeline, monitoring and runbooks it lacks. If it needs changes to run reliably under load, we say so before deploying it.
Who operates the agent after handover? +
Your team. Infrastructure code, pipelines and runbooks live in your repositories, on-call moves to your people, and there is no license or platform fee to Vstorm. We can stay on for support if you want us to.
