# Setup overview

export const m_runner = "Maia runner";

export const maia = "Maia";

To begin using {maia}, you need to configure your environment. The requirements differ based on the deployment type:

* **Hybrid SaaS** requires both a cloud platform and a cloud data warehouse.
* **Full SaaS** requires only a supported cloud data warehouse, as Matillion provides and manages the cloud platform.

Read [Full SaaS vs Hybrid SaaS](/docs/guides/runner-overview#matillion-full-saas-vs-hybrid-saas) for more details. Use this overview to identify the correct setup guide for your environment.

## Hybrid SaaS

With **Hybrid SaaS**, you deploy and manage your own {m_runner}s within your own cloud infrastructure. This gives you full control over security measures, network isolation, access control, and where your secrets are stored. This option is available for [Enterprise](/docs/administration/editions) edition customers only.

The table below shows the supported combinations of cloud platforms and data warehouses for Hybrid SaaS:

| Cloud platform | Snowflake | Databricks | Amazon Redshift | Google BigQuery |
| -------------- | --------- | ---------- | --------------- | --------------- |
| AWS            | ✅         | ✅          | ✅               | ❌               |
| Azure          | ✅         | ✅          | ❌               | ❌               |
| Snowpark       | ✅         | ❌          | ❌               | ❌               |
| Google Cloud   | ❌         | ❌          | ❌               | ✅               |

With **Full SaaS**, Matillion manages the entire infrastructure, including {m_runner} deployment and security measures. Matillion ensures seamless updates and robust security protocols. The Matillion-hosted {m_runner} handles the execution of tasks, and customer secrets are securely stored in a Matillion-hosted secrets manager.

The following table summarizes the supported Full SaaS combinations:
