Board: enterprise hosts, single-tenant and BYOC

The goal is to show the same exe.dev experience on hardware nobody else shares, or on your own cloud account, backed by a contract and an SLA.

Whiteboard outcome

When you’re done, the board shows the exe.dev control plane, three kinds of hosts (exe.dev-racked, exe.dev in AWS, and your account), pools placed on hosts automatically, and the SLA table in a corner.

Before you draw: three questions

1. Is the driver isolation, data locality, cloud commitments, or capacity on demand?
2. Is there a compliance regime (HIPAA, an auditor asking about physical isolation)?
3. Do you need nested virtualization inside the VMs?

Draw it in 7 steps

1. At the top, draw a rounded rectangle “exe.dev control plane (lobby)”. Say: “You keep the same SSH, HTTPS API, proxy and integrations” (https://exe.dev/docs/enterprise).
2. Below it, draw three host columns: “exe.dev hosts (its regions)”, “exe.dev hosts in AWS”, “Your cloud / your rack (BYOC)”. Say: “No other customer’s VM shares their CPUs, memory or disks” (https://exe.dev/docs/enterprise-single-tenant).
3. Under BYOC, write “needs hardware virtualization + local NVMe: bare-metal or your own rack.” (https://exe.dev/docs/enterprise-byoc)
4. Draw pool new data --cpus=64 with an arrow to “host decides (no, region)”. Say: “pool hosts shows each host and the largest pool it can take, and pools never fall back to shared hardware” (https://exe.dev/docs/enterprise-single-tenant).
5. Inside one VM, draw a smaller VM labeled “nested VM (Enterprise)”. (https://exe.dev/docs/enterprise)
6. In the corner, draw the SLA: “99.9%/month. Credits 10/15/20/30%. Urgent 30 min, Normal 4 h, Low 1 business day.” (https://exe.dev/docs/enterprise-sla)
7. At the bottom, write the rule: “Minimum is one host. Start with a POC.” (https://exe.dev/docs/enterprise)
