Deploy AI Gateway in Hybrid mode to keep LLM traffic within your environment by hosting the data plane on your own Kubernetes cluster.
Hybrid deployment hosts the AI Gateway data plane on a Kubernetes cluster that you manage.
LLM request and response payloads are processed within your environment and never transmitted
to Palo Alto Networks. The management plane — workspace configuration, guardrail policies,
and observability dashboards — continues to run in Strata Cloud Manager.
Before you begin, ensure your Kubernetes cluster is provisioned and that Helm 3 is
installed and configured to communicate with your cluster.
