What It Does
Monk deploys your app to any supported cloud provider. The configuration it generates from code analysis is cloud-agnostic. You can split a single app across multiple clouds at the same time.How It Works
Platform-Agnostic Configuration
When Monk analyzes your application, the resulting configuration works everywhere:- Configuration deploys to AWS, GCP, Azure, or DigitalOcean
- Deploy to one cloud today, switch to another tomorrow
- No provider-specific code or configs required
- Monk handles platform-specific details automatically
Split Across Multiple Clouds
Monk manages multiple cloud accounts and resources as one system. Your app can span providers. Example architecture:- Compute — DigitalOcean Droplets (affordable VMs)
- AI/ML — Azure OpenAI Service (GPT models)
- CDN — Cloudflare (global edge network)
Secure Cross-Cloud Networking
When your app spans multiple clouds, Monk handles networking automatically:- All communications encrypted by default
- No VPN setup required
- No Tailscale configuration needed
- Works across clouds and datacenters
- Automatic network segmentation
Cloud Service Replacement
Monk finds equivalent services across cloud providers, subject to available integrations:| Service Type | AWS | GCP | Azure | DigitalOcean |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Object Storage | S3 | Cloud Storage | Blob Storage | Spaces |
| Managed PostgreSQL | RDS | Cloud SQL | Database | Managed Database |
| Load Balancer | ALB/NLB | Cloud Load Balancing | Load Balancer | Load Balancer |
| Cache | ElastiCache | Memorystore | Cache for Redis | DO Valkey |
On-Premises + Cloud Hybrid
Monk can run your system across on-premises infrastructure and cloud. Hybrid scenarios:- Sensitive data stays on-prem, processing in cloud
- Development/staging on-prem, production in cloud
- Legacy systems on-prem, new services in cloud
- Burst to cloud for peak loads
- Manual setup for on-premises machines (network access, orchestrator installation)
- Monk manages hybrid infrastructure as one system
- Encrypted networking between on-prem and cloud
On-premises support: See Getting Help for guidance on
hybrid cloud + on-prem deployments. Manual setup is required for on-premises
machines, but once configured, Monk manages everything as a unified system.
Migration
Need to switch cloud providers? Monk handles it. Tell it where you want to go, and it provisions, migrates, and cuts over. See Workload Migration for the full process.Supported Providers
