AISIX Cloud

AISIX Cloud is the managed control plane for AISIX AI Gateway. It provides Cloud-side management for gateway resources, certificates, usage, and budgets while a managed gateway serves live AI traffic in the runtime environment.

Self-hosted AISIX and AISIX Cloud are parallel operating models. Self-hosted deployments give you direct ownership of the gateway process, etcd, startup configuration, and admin API. AISIX Cloud keeps the gateway runtime in your environment, but moves resource management and operational visibility into Cloud.

Consider AISIX Cloud when you want managed resource workflows and Cloud-side visibility without operating the full management path yourself.
