# Your Data. Your Cloud. Your Rules.

Two deployment models. One platform. Total sovereignty.

## How can I deploy Apache Flink with Ververica?

Ververica deploys Apache Flink in two ways: BYOC, where the data plane runs in your own AWS or Azure account and Ververica operates the platform through a control plane that exchanges only metadata, and self-managed, where you run the platform on any Kubernetes cluster, in the cloud, on-premises or air-gapped. In both models, your data stays inside your environment.
