Deployment and Initial Setup

Expanse is deployed directly on your infrastructure and begins collecting telemetry shortly after installation.

The setup process is designed to be fast and minimally disruptive.

​

Deployment

Deployment typically happens during the first one to two days of the evaluation.

Key characteristics of the deployment:

• One‑click deployment on your infrastructure
• Passive telemetry collection begins after installation
• No changes required for cluster users

Cluster users can continue submitting and running workloads normally while Expanse observes system behavior.

​

What happens after deployment

Once deployed, Expanse begins building a picture of how your cluster actually operates. This includes patterns in job submissions, resource use, and operational behavior.

The system works out of the box, without requiring tuning or configuration changes during the observation period.

​

Custom environments

Clusters can vary widely. If your environment requires a bespoke setup, the Expanse team can assist during deployment.

After deployment, the observation phase begins automatically.
