Learn about ZenML Pro SaaS deployment - the fastest way to get started with production-ready MLOps.
ZenML Pro SaaS is the fastest and easiest way to get started with enterprise-grade MLOps. With zero infrastructure setup required, you can be running production pipelines within minutes while maintaining full control over your data and compute resources.
Overview
In a SaaS deployment, ZenML manages all server infrastructure while your sensitive data and compute resources remain in your own cloud environment. This architecture provides the fastest time-to-value while maintaining data sovereignty for your ML workloads.

Key Benefits
Fastest Setup
Get to production in minutes rather than weeks. There's no infrastructure provisioning required for ZenML services—updates and patches are handled automatically, and the infrastructure scales with your needs without any manual intervention.
Security & Compliance
ZenML Pro SaaS is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified. Your ML data stays in your infrastructure, maintaining data sovereignty, while all communications are encrypted in transit. If needed, you can optionally use your own secret management solution instead of the ZenML-managed one.
Production Ready from Day 1
The platform comes with built-in redundancy and failover for high availability. Metadata is backed up continuously, health checks and alerting are pre-configured, and you get direct access to ZenML engineers through professional support.
Collaboration Features
ZenML Pro SaaS supports full team collaboration with multi-user capabilities. You can connect your identity provider through SSO integration, manage granular permissions with role-based access control, and organize teams and resources using workspaces and projects.
Ideal Use Cases
ZenML Pro SaaS works well for startups and scale-ups that need production MLOps quickly without infrastructure overhead, as well as teams without dedicated DevOps who want managed infrastructure and support. It's also a good fit for organizations with existing cloud infrastructure that are comfortable with SaaS tools, teams prioritizing velocity over complete infrastructure control, and POC or pilot projects that need to demonstrate value quickly.
Secret Management Options
Default: ZenML-Managed Secrets Store
By default, ZenML Pro SaaS stores your cloud credentials securely in our managed secrets store. This requires zero configuration and provides automatic encryption at rest and in transit, with access controls managed via RBAC.
Alternative: Customer-Managed Secrets Store
For organizations with strict security requirements, you can configure ZenML to use your own secrets management solution such as AWS Secrets Manager, Google Cloud Secret Manager, Azure Key Vault, or HashiCorp Vault.
This keeps all credentials within your infrastructure while still benefiting from managed ZenML services. Book a call with us if you want this set up.
Network Architecture
Core Platform
ZenML Pro SaaS requires no inbound connectivity into your infrastructure. All communication is initiated from your environment to ZenML, keeping your systems protected behind your firewall.
Features Requiring Limited Ingress
Some features require you to whitelist ZenML to access specific resources in your environment. These include artifact visualizations (which need limited access to your artifact store), step logs (which need limited access to your artifact store or log collector), and running Snapshots (which relies on limited access to your orchestration environment). You control this access by configuring appropriate cloud IAM permissions.
Getting Started
Start by booking a demo to get access to ZenML Pro SaaS. Once your account is set up, connect your cloud infrastructure by configuring an artifact store (S3, GCS, Azure Blob, etc.), setting up compute resources (AWS, GCP, Azure, or Kubernetes), and providing the necessary credentials via secrets. After that, you're ready to run your pipelines and monitor them through the dashboard.
Pricing & Support
ZenML Pro SaaS includes managed infrastructure and updates, professional support with SLA, regular security patches, and access to pro-exclusive features. Pricing follows a usage-based model. Contact us for pricing details and custom plans.
