QUESTION
If a customer doesn't allow any external access, are there trade-offs or can it run fully locally?
ANSWER
Cloud has the runner phoning home to Nuon's control plane. BYOC/open source deploys the control plane in your own account so the runner phones home to your account. There is no fully air-gapped mode where the runner doesn't phone home, because that would break the dashboard and the ability to manage the install.
