Cloud Providers
Cloud Providers
Your agent runs on your own cloud account. Belong AI Deploy provisions the server for you — you keep ownership, billing, and control.
| Provider | Auth | Speed | New deployments |
|---|---|---|---|
| DigitalOcean (default) | OAuth | ~10 sec | Active; fastest setup for most users. |
| OVHcloud | Signed API token | 2–5 min | Active; live regions and sizes are verified before launch. |
| Google Cloud | OAuth | ~15 sec | Active beta. |
| AWS | API key | 2–5 min | Active beta. |
| Scaleway | API key | 2–5 min | Active beta; Apple Mac Mini servers in Europe. |
The public self-host repository currently has one live CLI cloud path: DigitalOcean. Its Google Cloud, AWS, and Azure OpenTofu modules are reference/validation contracts, not promises that aideploy up will create those resources.
DigitalOcean (recommended)
DigitalOcean is the fastest path — one-click OAuth and no keys to copy.
Create a DigitalOcean account
- In the wizard, use Need an account? Create one, or go directly to DigitalOcean
- Click Sign Up — you can use Google, GitHub, or email
- Add a payment method (credit card or PayPal)
- Eligible new accounts can receive a $200, 60-day referral credit after adding a valid payment method
- Return to the wizard and click Sign in with DigitalOcean
Connect in the wizard
- Click Sign in with DigitalOcean
- A popup opens — log into your DigitalOcean account if needed
- Authorize the Belong AI Deploy app
- The popup closes and you'll see a green checkmark

Server sizes
| Plan | Agents | Cost | Specs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 1–4 | ~$24/mo | 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM |
| Growing | 5–8 | ~$48/mo | 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM |
| Power | 9–16 | ~$96/mo | 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM |
Most users should start with Starter. You can resize later from the DigitalOcean dashboard.
OVHcloud
OVHcloud requires an application key, application secret, consumer key, and Public Cloud service name. The account endpoint selected in the wizard must match the endpoint where the token was created.
Follow Deploy with OVHcloud for the exact restricted permissions, service-name lookup, connection steps, and error recovery.
Managing your server
After deployment, manage your server from two places:
- Your cloud provider's dashboard (e.g. cloud.digitalocean.com) — resize, view metrics, manage billing
- The Belong AI Deploy dashboard — reachable over your Tailscale private network — manage agents, conversations, and tasks
