Panther Deployment Types

Panther deployment options for AWS and Snowflake

Overview

Panther currently offers two deployment models: Software as a Service (SaaS) and Cloud Connected. The primary difference between SaaS and Cloud Connected deployments is the owner of the AWS account in which your Panther instance is deployed along with the owner of the Snowflake backend.

Deployment type	AWS ownership	Snowflake ownership	Platform management
SaaS	Panther	Panther	Panther
Cloud Connected	Your organization	Your organization	Panther

In a SaaS deployment, Panther owns and maintains the AWS account and the Snowflake account. In a Cloud Connected deployment, your organization owns the Snowflake account and the AWS account where Panther is deployed. In both deployment models, Panther performs initial deployments and platform upgrades.

If you have questions about the deployment type of your Panther instance, please reach out to your Panther support team.
