Deployment models

These are separate choices:

push  ── Alien's manager calls the environment
pull  ── environment component calls Alien
existing installation ── current chart remains authoritative

Push

Alien uses scoped access in the environment to create or update a deployment.

Pull

A component in the environment opens the connection and uses the environment’s own identity.

Existing installation

Remote operator observes and operates an application whose Helm or other deployment definition already exists.

Choose the method the environment owner can approve and operate. Read the generated setup and permissions; provider details vary by platform.

See Access, Where a deployment runs, and Remote operator.
