# Introduction

> The Kubernetes control plane for humans and AI agents — on your own infrastructure, cloud or on-premise.

## Welcome to Qovery

Qovery is the **Kubernetes control plane for humans and AI agents** — running on your own infrastructure, whether on a public cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure, Scaleway…) or on-premise.

Describe what you want to deploy and an AI agent handles the rest — or use the console, CLI, Terraform, API, or MCP directly. Either way, operational best practices and guardrails are built in, so every action stays within boundaries regardless of who or what is making the request.
