# No cloud or vendor lock-in with Cerbos

Maintain full control over your authorization processes. Deploy on any platform, ensuring independence and adaptability.

## Why avoiding lock-in matters

Being tied to a specific cloud provider or vendor can limit flexibility, increase costs, and make migrations challenging. By avoiding lock-in, organizations can choose the best tools for their needs, negotiate better pricing, and ensure long-term adaptability.

### Freedom, flexibility and control

- **Platform agnostic:** Deploy Cerbos on public/private/hybrid clouds, serverless platforms, or even your data center.
- **Migration ease:** Transition between platforms or vendors without the challenges of proprietary systems.
- **Future-proofing:** As technology landscapes evolve, ensure that your authorization system remains adaptable.
- **Full control:** Maintain 100% control within your perimeter, ensuring security and compliance on your terms.
