Deploy Ascend
Before diving into the platform, you need to deploy Ascend. Ascend provides you with the ability to deploy Ascend Data Engineering Clusters within their own private cloud accounts. Ascend services are fully hosted within a customer-owned account with the public cloud of your choice, managed remotely by Ascend, and isolated from all other Ascend customers.
To get started with your Ascend deploy, see the Deployment Model.
