Core Benefits
Deploy anywhere
Turn laptops, on-prem servers, or virtual machines into fully deployable environments. Gain the flexibility to choose infrastructure based on cost, performance, geography, or compliance — not tooling limitations.
Move workloads with one click
Connect multiple servers and switch where your projects run — without rebuilding your deployment process. No Vendor Lock-In
Keep the PipeOps experience
CI/CD, monitoring, observability, and project management remain consistent across every server you connect.
Machines that can now become a server
BYOS lets you choose infrastructure that makes sense for your business. If it’s an internet-connected machine capable of running a lightweight agent, you can turn it into a deployable server.
You can connect:
- Virtual machines from global cloud providers
- Local and regional cloud providers
- Enterprise-owned data centers
- Dedicated servers
- Bare-metal infrastructure
- Repurposed internal hardware
Deploy anything, anywhere.
Use the PipeOps console to launch your stack onto your newly connected servers in seconds.

Frequently asked questions.
What counts as a “machine”?
Any internet-connected server capable of running a lightweight installation script, including local hardware, virtual machines, or dedicated infrastructure.
Does BYOS replace PipeOps hosting?
No. BYOS expands your options. You can use PipeOps-managed servers, your own servers, or both.
Can I connect multiple servers?
Yes. You can create multiple servers and choose where each project runs.
How do I move a workload to another server?
Select a different server target inside PipeOps. Migration is handled automatically.
Do I need to change my application code?
No. BYOS affects infrastructure, not your application logic.
Who manages the underlying server?
You control your infrastructure. PipeOps provides the deployment and management layer on top.
