VPC and Air-Gapped Deployment
Large enterprises will not let their data leave their security boundary, so you deploy your software inside the customer's private VPC, reach their data over PrivateLink instead of the public internet, authenticate through their SSO, and encrypt everything at rest and in transit. For air-gapped environments you ship self-hosted models too. This is core Forward Deployed Engineer work.
