Ask HN: What Are the Example of “Install on Cloud” Softwares?

1 points by iamgopal ↗ HN
Does SAAS only works when software provider does all the thing ? or there are softwares that are proprietary but can be install on my own cloud server (Google, AWS etc ), and I may need to pay rental / recurring fees to use that software ?

It's usually called on-premise, private cloud or self-hosted.

On AWS Marketplace you can rent such software per hour (plus the cost of the servers), e.g. https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B07KRRSWLY

Other cloud infrastructure providers also have marketplaces, even for free software, because they earn from customers renting their servers. https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/category/developer-tool... https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/category/blogs-and-foru...

Many large SaaS have separate Enterprise products, e.g. Github https://github.com/enterprise or mapbox https://www.mapbox.com/atlas/ It requires a dedicated support team, strong contracts and customers pay a lot extra.
