CoPilot Deployment Model
CoPilot is deployed as an all-in-one virtual appliance and is available on AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI marketplaces. For information about base image releases that become available in the markeplaces, see the Aviatrix CoPilot Image Release Notes. CoPilot works in tandem with Aviatrix Controller; in order to use CoPilot, you must have an operational Aviatrix Controller. In the Controller, you set up user accounts and the CoPilot service account with required permissions for CoPilot usage. See CoPilot Accounts and Users. Aviatrix Controller and CoPilot are not required to be collocated. It is possible to run them in separate VPCs/VNets or separate cloud providers (in multicloud environments). If CoPilot is located in the same VPC/VNet as your Controller, specifying a private IP can increase operational bandwidth and potentially save on cost. In order to deploy Controller and CoPilot, you must subscribe to an Aviatrix offer in a cloud provider marketplace. See the discussion about planning your CoPilot deployment in Copilot Planning Deployment for information about Aviatrix offers. For information about deploying Aviatrix CoPilot, including deployment methods and virtual machine (instance) minimum requirements, see Copilot Planning Deployment.CoPilot Licensing and Trials
