# Introduction
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Browsertrix Cloud is designed to be a cloud-native application running in Kubernetes.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
However, despite the name, it is perfectly reasonable (and easy!) to deploy Browsertrix Cloud locally using one of the many available local Kubernetes options. Here are a few recommendations for different scenarios.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The main requirements for Browsertrix Cloud are:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- A Kubernetes Cluster
 | 
						|
- Helm 3 (package manager for Kubernetes)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We have prepared a [Local Deployment](./local) and [Production (Self-Hosted and Cloud) Deployment](./production) guides to help with
 | 
						|
setting up Browsertrix Cloud for different scenarios.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Non Kubernetes Deployments
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Previously, Browsertrix Cloud also supported Docker Compose and podman-based deployment. This is now deprecated due to the complexity
 | 
						|
of maintaining feature parity across different setups, and with various Kubernetes deployment options being available and easy to deploy, even on a single machine.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Making deployment of Browsertrix Cloud as easy as possible remains a key goal, and we welcome suggestions for how we can further improve our Kubernetes deployment options.
