Lunar Dedicated

Lunar Dedicated is a single-tenant Lunar install that Earthly provisions, operates, and upgrades for you — the overview, what your team does to bring one up, and the private path to your internal syst

Lunar Dedicated is a fully managed, single-tenant Lunar install. Earthly provisions it in an AWS account dedicated to you and owns the whole lifecycle: upgrades, patching, monitoring, backup and restore. If you would rather run the Hub on your own Kubernetes, see Self hosted instead.

Earthly runs the infrastructure; you keep custody of your data and your credentials. The CLI and CI tracer are installed and configured exactly as they are on a self-hosted Hub.

In order

  1. Overview — how a Dedicated install is put together, the ways you can reach it, what Earthly needs from you, and how it handles your data and secrets. Read this first, and hand it to your security reviewer.

  2. Setup — everything your side does, in order: the questionnaire, your depositor account, your Git platform credential, and the secret deposit. This is the page to work from.

  3. PrivateLink to Your Internal Systems — only if something your install must reach isn't on the public internet: a self-managed Git platform, or a collector target such as an internal registry, ticketing system, or API. It comes last in this list, but start it first. It needs a DNS change and an AWS domain-ownership check on your side, which makes it the longest-lead-time item in onboarding. You can forward the page to your networking team on its own.

Before you start

Two neighboring sections apply to Dedicated installs as well, so they sit outside this one:

  • Git Platforms covers creating the credential Lunar authenticates with, on GitHub or GitLab. You create it and you deposit it yourself, so it never passes through Earthly. The Hub-configuration sections of those pages are for self-hosted installs only.

  • Lunar CI Tracer covers build-time data, if you want it. The tracer installs on your CI runners rather than in your install, so it is independent of onboarding and can be added at any point afterwards.

Still deciding whether Dedicated is the right fit? The Overview covers the trade-offs, or book a demo and Earthly will walk your team through the model.
