● Free agents available now. No card required.

Your infrastructure backlog just got an expert on call.

Lease an agent. Run one command. It builds the stack inside your own environment: Kubernetes, Ceph, Postgres HA, GitOps, observability. You keep your hardware, your cloud and your data. We run the control plane.

The problem

Every layer of the stack is specialist work. Every team rebuilds it from scratch.

HA Postgres. A Ceph cluster. A GitOps pipeline. Observability that actually works. The people who can do it well are scarce, and the runbooks rot the day after they are written.

The usual way

  • A ticket, then a queue, then a specialist you may not have
  • Hand-built runbooks that drift from reality
  • Every team rebuilds the same stack, slightly differently
  • You find out what broke when it breaks

With Agent4Lease

  • Lease an agent and run one command
  • The agent does the job in your own environment
  • Each result is checked against the cluster itself
  • Pull the lease any time. Your data never had to move.
How it works

From lease request to running agent

01

Request a lease

Pick an agent and accept the terms. Free agents lease instantly; Team agents check out through Stripe.

→
02

Install the agent

One install command deploys the agent into your environment and pairs it to your lease.

→
03

Control plane takes over

Scheduling, updates, and policy flow down automatically. You watch it all from one dashboard.

→
04

Scale or revoke

Add data planes as you grow, or pull a lease instantly — your data never has to move first.

Built for your team

The agents your platform team keeps wishing it had

Platform engineers

Kubernetes, GitOps with Argo CD, pipelines with Tekton and Jenkins. A cluster you can hand to a team.

SRE and observability

Prometheus and Grafana on a cluster that already exists, with a rollout check so you know it is really up.

Security teams

Certificate automation with cert-manager and a Vault PKI, built for private networks where a public CA is out of reach.

Storage teams

MinIO, Ceph and NFS, with benchmark agents that show what your storage really delivers.

Data and database teams

Postgres HA with Patroni and etcd, and Trino for queries over your own data.

Founders and small teams

The infrastructure bench you cannot afford to hire. Start with six free agents, no card.

Agent catalog

Every agent available to lease, today

Agents built for real infrastructure workloads, grouped by the team that reaches for them. The six benchmark and testing agents are free and open source (MIT); Team and Fleet agents are leased, and you get the code through your lease.

Stand up the substrate

Platform & cloud-infra teams

Bring your own racked, cabled, networked hardware — these agents turn it into a running cluster.

Ceph deployment
Fleet

Ceph deploy agent

Bootstraps a Ceph cluster with cephadm — bootstrap, add hosts, apply OSDs, create pools and services, then checks cluster health. Pair with the storage benchmark agent once it's up.

LangGraphGeminiCephcephadm
OpenStack deployment
Fleet

OpenStack TripleO deploy agent

Deploys an OpenStack overcloud with TripleO/director — undercloud config, instackenv, flavors/profiles, overcloud deploy, then checks overcloud status. Assumes hardware and networking are already configured.

LangGraphGeminiOpenStackTripleO
Kubernetes deployment
Team

Docker + K8s deploy agent

Bootstraps a self-managed Kubernetes cluster — installs containerd (or Docker + cri-dockerd), runs kubeadm init, applies Calico or Flannel, joins workers, then verifies nodes. Hand the running cluster to the Prometheus+Grafana or cert-manager+Vault agents below.

LangGraphGeminikubeadmcontainerdDocker
OpenShift deployment
Fleet

OpenShift/OKD deploy agent

Deploys OpenShift Container Platform / OKD via the modern Agent-based Installer — generates install-config/agent-config, builds the boot ISO, waits for bootstrap and install, then verifies the cluster. No separate Ironic provisioning host needed.

LangGraphGeminiOpenShiftOKD

Layer storage and traffic on top

App & storage teams

Run against any cluster above — or any cluster you already have.

Object storage
Team

MinIO deploy agent

Deploys MinIO object storage — standalone single-node or distributed erasure-coded cluster — generating the systemd service, installing binaries, bootstrapping buckets, and verifying cluster health.

LangGraphGeminiMinIO
HA load balancing · backend-agnostic
Team

HAProxy + Keepalived agent

Deploys an HA load-balancer front-end — real haproxy.cfg for L4/L7 balancing, keepalived.conf for a floating VIP over VRRP, then checks both daemons and the VIP are up. Points at any backend pool: a K8s API server, an OpenStack endpoint, a Ceph RGW cluster, a database cluster.

LangGraphGeminiHAProxyKeepalived

Observe and secure what's running

SRE, observability & platform-security teams

Day-2 operations agents — meant to run against a cluster that already exists.

Monitoring · day 2
Team

Prometheus + Grafana agent

Deploys the Prometheus + Grafana monitoring stack onto an existing Kubernetes cluster — real values.yaml for the official kube-prometheus-stack Helm chart, a real helm upgrade --install, Grafana datasource/dashboard provisioning, and rollout verification.

LangGraphGeminiPrometheusGrafanaHelm
Certificate lifecycle · day 2
Team

cert-manager + Vault agent

Deploys TLS certificate lifecycle automation for a Kubernetes cluster — installs cert-manager via Helm, configures a HashiCorp Vault PKI secrets engine as the CA, wires the Vault Issuer, and issues a test certificate end-to-end. Fits on-prem/private-cloud setups where a public ACME CA is unreachable.

LangGraphGeminicert-managerVault PKI

Run a resilient database

Data & database platform teams
Postgres HA
Team

Postgres HA agent (Patroni + etcd)

Deploys a highly-available PostgreSQL cluster — etcd quorum, Patroni config per node, one primary with N streaming-replication replicas and automatic failover, then checks cluster status.

LangGraphGeminiPatronietcdPostgreSQL
PrestoDB on EKS · Step 1 of 2
Team

Deploy PrestoDB Trino

Deploys a distributed SQL query engine — PrestoDB or Trino, your choice — on Kubernetes via Helm, wiring up catalogs and a Hive Metastore so it can query data in place (S3, HDFS, and friends). Once it's up, hand it to the PrestoDB EKS scaling agent below, or to the database benchmark agent to measure it.

LangGraphGeminiPrestoDBTrinoKubernetesHive Metastore
PrestoDB on EKS · Step 2 of 2
Team

PrestoDB EKS scaling agent

Goal-driven agent that autonomously scales a PrestoDB cluster on AWS EKS from 0 to 80 pods, monitoring readiness and coordinator registration along the way. Bring your own AWS IAM role. Pairs with the Deploy PrestoDB Trino agent above.

AWS EKSKubernetesPrestoDBIAM

Automate the delivery pipeline

Platform & DevOps teams

CI/CD tooling, deployed onto infrastructure you already have — not the infrastructure itself.

CI controller
Team

Jenkins deploy agent

Installs a Jenkins controller, bootstraps the initial admin setup via JCasC, installs core plugins, joins an SSH build agent node, and seeds a pipeline job — then checks controller and agent health.

LangGraphGeminiJenkinsJCasC
CI runner
Team

GitLab Runner deploy agent

Installs and registers self-hosted GitLab Runners against your existing GitLab instance (cloud or self-managed) — install, Docker executor prereqs, registration (current token or legacy flow), generated config.toml — then checks runner status.

LangGraphGeminiGitLab RunnerDocker
K8s-native CI
Team

Tekton Pipelines deploy agent

Installs Tekton Pipelines, Triggers and Dashboard onto an existing Kubernetes cluster, applies a sample Task/Pipeline, runs a test PipelineRun, then checks pod and run status. Pairs with the Argo CD agent below for the CD half.

LangGraphGeminiTektonKubernetes
GitOps CD
Team

Argo CD deploy agent

Installs Argo CD onto an existing Kubernetes cluster, retrieves the initial admin password (never decoded or echoed by the agent), generates an Application manifest with optional automated sync/prune/self-heal, then checks sync and health status.

Proof

We put it on a real cluster

We deployed our agents onto a live 3-node Kubernetes cluster and checked each result with kubectl, not the agent's own word.

✓

Prometheus + Grafana

Monitoring stack up and healthy.

✓

cert-manager

Certificate automation installed and issuing.

✓

Trino

Distributed SQL engine deployed and ready.

✓

Argo CD

GitOps controller synced and healthy.

Testing found a bug. We fixed it the same day. The run exposed a flaw in our Argo CD agent's install step. That is what testing is for, and we publish results as each agent completes.
Architecture

One control plane. Your data, your hardware.

Leasing an agent splits responsibility cleanly: we operate the brain, you keep the body. Nothing that touches your data ever leaves your infrastructure.

topology.example illustrative: control plane → your data planes
CP we run control plane DP-01subscriber DP-02subscriber DP-03subscriber DP-04subscriber data planes — run on subscriber-owned compute
control plane · hosted by us

Scheduling & policy

The control plane issues the agent's config, rotates credentials, and holds the dashboard — but never touches your workload data directly.

  • Agent scheduling and lease lifecycle
  • Policy, quotas, and RBAC
  • Fleet-wide observability dashboard
  • Version rollout and rollback
data plane · runs on your resources

Execution & storage

The leased agent runs inside your VPC, cluster, or bare metal. Compute, storage, and egress stay on infrastructure you already control.

  • Runs on your Kubernetes, OpenStack, or bare metal
  • Your object storage, your retention rules
  • Outbound-only heartbeat to the control plane
  • Revoke access by pulling the lease, anytime
Pricing

Lease plans

Every plan includes the hosted control plane. You bring the compute for your data plane. Fleet isn't "the agents we gate" — it's for running agents as a fleet: many clusters, many regions, many subscriber orgs, one tenancy.

Where it runs

Run it where your compute lives

Agents are plain Python that runs on a Linux host or Kubernetes cluster you control: your own racks, your cloud account, or a GPU neocloud. You keep your own account and billing with the provider. Agent4Lease doesn't resell compute.

VERIFIED · 4 AGENTS

Kubernetes on GKE

Prometheus + Grafana, cert-manager, Trino and Argo CD passed on a live 3-node GKE cluster, each checked with kubectl. More Kubernetes agents are verified one at a time, and results are published as each completes.

PLANNED

GPU neoclouds

CoreWeave, Lambda, Crusoe, Nebius, RunPod and similar. Benchmark and deploy agents aimed at GPU clusters, running in your own account with the provider. A provider is listed as verified only after the agents have run there.

On-prem and bare metal

Your own hardware, from racked servers to full platform builds. Fleet agents cover bare-metal rollouts, and we scope the work with you.

Provider names are trademarks of their owners and are used only to describe where agents can run. No affiliation with or endorsement by any provider is implied. Interested in a provider that isn't listed? Tell us.

Request a lease

Pick an agent and we'll generate a one-line install command tied to your lease. Run it on the machine that will host the agent.

Why the lease model, why now

Early-stage — the control plane is live and the agent catalog is validated. Here's the shape of the bet.

The model

Recurring lease, not a one-time tool sale

Subscribers pay to keep an agent leased and scheduled, not to own a script. Revenue compounds with fleet size, not headcount.

The moat

Control plane / data plane split

We host the brain; subscriber data never leaves their infrastructure. That's the thing a generic script or open-source agent can't offer on its own — and it's what makes this sellable to security-conscious infra teams.

Where it stands

Live control plane, 21 agents in the catalog

The lease API runs on Cloud Run + Cloud SQL today, with Stripe billing live for the Team plan. The six benchmark and testing agents are free and open source. Per-agent test results on Kubernetes are published as each one completes.

Early-stage conversations welcome. If the control-plane/data-plane model is interesting to you, let's talk.
