Managed Cloud
On managed cloud, Exo runs the control plane for you. The only thing you install is the operator in your own cluster, then point it at managed cloud with a deployment token.
The Exo control plane is at https://exo.adaptive.live. You only install the operator in the cluster where your agents should run, and connect it. Four short steps.
The setup
- The operator: the
autonomic-managerDeployment, its RBAC, and the admission webhook, in your cluster. - A deployment token: minted in the managed dashboard, it links this cluster to your tenant.
1 · Install the operator
In the managed dashboard, go to Deployments → New, name the deployment (e.g. prod-eu-west-1), and copy the token shown once.
Step 1 — create the namespace and store the token as the autonomic-auth secret:
kubectl create namespace autonomic-system
kubectl -n autonomic-system create secret generic autonomic-auth \--from-literal=token=<your-deployment-token>
Step 2 — install the operator in managed mode:
helm repo add exo https://exo.assets.adaptive.live/charts
helm repo update
helm upgrade --install autonomic exo/autonomic \--namespace autonomic-system --create-namespace \--set manager.managed=true
2 · Verify
Within a few seconds the deployment flips to online in the dashboard and its resource lists populate. If it stays offline, check the operator logs:
kubectl -n autonomic-system logs deploy/autonomic-manager --tail=50
That's it. The cluster is connected. Next, mint roles and create your first agent. For token rotation and the one-token-per-deployment rule, see Tokens & deployments.
What's next
- Create your first agent: declare a tool and an agent, sign in, and fire the first run on your connected cluster.
- Create tools: define the actions your agents can call and how they map to your systems.
- Build agents: compose tools, prompts, and models into the agents your team will invoke.
- Set access control: keep most agents open to the team and restrict the sensitive few.
- Tokens & deployments: rotate deployment tokens and manage one-token-per-deployment.
