Three ways to deploy Bold Reports
Deploy to our managed cloud, a dedicated private cloud, or your own servers. Every deployment path runs the same reporting engine and RDL compatibility, so switching hosting models later never means rebuilding your reports.
Cloud Deployment
Fully managed SaaS deployment with automatic updates, built-in scaling, and zero infrastructure overhead. Get started in minutes without provisioning servers or maintaining hardware yourself.
- Always on the latest version, no manual upgrades.
- Elastic scaling as report volume and users grow.
- Ideal for teams that want reporting live in days, not weeks.
Managed Private Cloud
A dedicated cloud environment for organizations that want cloud convenience with added isolation and security controls, without managing the infrastructure themselves.
- Dedicated environment, isolated from other Bold Reports customers.
- Supports multiple tenants within your own environment.
- Additional security and compliance controls beyond standard cloud.
On-Premises Deployment
Self-host Bold Reports on your own Windows or Linux infrastructure for full data residency and control. Suited for regulated industries and organizations with strict data-sovereignty requirements.
- Complete control over data location and network access.
- Deploy on Windows, Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, or Azure Service.
- Fits air-gapped and highly regulated environments.
Why Bold Reports for Multi-Tenant Reporting
Every capability below is built into the platform for multi-tenant use from the start, not adapted from a single-tenant product after the fact.
Windows Server
Install with the Windows installer on IIS, with Active Directory and SQL Server integration for enterprise Windows environments.
Linux
Deploy directly on Linux servers, including a Debian-specific setup path, for teams standardized on a Linux stack.
Docker
Run the official Docker image with a docker-compose configuration, ready to evaluate or deploy in minutes.
Podman
Run daemonless with Podman as an alternative to Docker, for teams that avoid a persistent background service.
Kubernetes
Orchestrate with published configuration files, verified on Azure Kubernetes Service and Amazon EKS, for auto-scaling and lifecycle management.
Microsoft Azure
Deploy on Azure through the Azure Marketplace listing or a managed VM setup, with billing folded into your existing Azure account.
Azure App Service
Deploy as a managed App Service, with Azure handling scaling, patching, and uptime for the underlying web app.
AWS
Deploy on Amazon EKS for Kubernetes orchestration, or provision AWS infrastructure as code with Terraform, for teams already standardized on AWS.
Terraform
Provision the cluster, storage, database, and networking as code across Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud in a single run.
Alibaba Cloud ACK
Deploy on Alibaba Cloud Container Service for Kubernetes, with its own documented setup path for teams standardized on Alibaba Cloud.
Deployment flexibility without feature trade-offs
The same platform everywhere
Cloud, managed private cloud, and on-premises reporting all run the same platform. Choosing where to host never means giving up capabilities or waiting on a feature that only shipped to one edition.
No vendor lock-in
Deploy on the cloud you already use, or none at all. Start in our managed cloud and move to self-hosted reporting later without rebuilding your reports.
Your security perimeter
Self-hosted deployment keeps report data inside the network you already govern, under the access controls and data residency rules you already run.
How the three editions compare
All three editions run the same reporting platform. One question decides it: how much do you want to operate yourself?
| Deployment | Cloud Edition | Managed Private Cloud | On-Premises |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pick this when | You want reporting live today | You need isolation, not ops work | Data cannot leave your network |
| Operated by | Bold Reports | Bold Reports | Your team |
| Report data sits | Our cloud | Your dedicated instance | Your network |
| Reporting features | Full platform | Full platform | Full platform |
| Upgrades | Handled for you | Handled for you | You control timing |
| Time to first report | Immediate | Provisioned for you | After install |
| Air-gapped deployment | Not applicable | Not applicable | Supported |
| Docker and Kubernetes | Managed for you | Managed for you | Docker, Podman, Kubernetes |
| SLA | Cloud SLA | Cloud SLA | On-Premises SLA |
Try it in the environment you'll actually run
The 30-day trial license works with every deployment type, Docker and Kubernetes included.
No credit card required.
Enterprise deployment requirements, covered
Air-gapped and restricted networks
Run reporting fully disconnected, behind your firewall or inside your VPC, with offline licensing. No external calls, no exceptions to request from security.
Multi-tenant deployment
Serve multiple clients or departments from one deployment, with isolated access per tenant and central administration. Supported on cloud and Kubernetes.
High availability and disaster recovery
Documented high availability configuration, plus disaster recovery and application startup procedures for production deployments.
Licensing that ignores your infrastructure
User-based licensing, not deployment-based. Standard and Enterprise plans both work across cloud, on-premises, Docker, and Kubernetes deployments.
Enterprise-Ready Compliance
Bold Reports helps you meet key security and compliance standards. All activity logs are safely stored, can’t be changed, and are easy to export when needed.
Here's why our customers love us
See how Bold Reports is making an impact in businesses with powerful reporting, as shared by our satisfied customers.
Bold Reports is a user-friendly and powerful reporting tool. The desktop designer and writer for .NET Core make report creation easy, and connecting to databases is seamless. It’s a great solution for generating offers, invoices, and reports in our CRM app.
Muhammed Y
Co-Founder & Full-Stack Developer
We switched from SSRS with little effort. It works great in our WPF and Blazor applications, supports our old reports, and lets developers create new ones easily. The pricing is fair for ISVs, and the support team is fast and helpful. Onboarding was smooth and responsive.
Aaron S
CEO
Bold Reports was easy to integrate and works smoothly. It creates clean, professional-looking reports, and the documentation is clear with plenty of helpful examples. I had no issues during setup and it was a great experience overall.
Domenico D

Frequently Asked Questions
Bold Reports documents eleven deployment paths: Windows Server, Linux, Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, Alibaba Cloud ACK, Azure, Azure App Service, AWS, Terraform provisioning, and a high availability configuration. Fully managed cloud hosting is also available if you would rather not operate the infrastructure at all.
No. Cloud Edition, Managed Private Cloud, and On-Premises all run the same reporting platform with the same features. Only the operational responsibility changes.
Yes. Install behind your firewall, inside your VPC, or in a fully disconnected network. Offline licensing means an air-gapped deployment stays licensed with no external access.
Self-hosted deployment runs on Windows Server and Linux, and needs a 4-core CPU, 16 GB of RAM, and a supported database. Full prerequisites for each platform are in the deployment guides.
Yes. Bold Reports publishes an official Docker image with a docker-compose configuration, and the 30-day trial works in Docker so you can evaluate before committing.
Yes. Podman deployment is documented for teams running a daemonless runtime, as an alternative to Docker.
Kubernetes deployment is verified on Azure Kubernetes Service and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service, with published configuration files. Through Terraform, Bold Reports can also be provisioned on Google GKE and Amazon ECS. Alibaba Cloud ACK has its own documented deployment path.
