The reason I ask is because in other places it seems to imply that all you can buy is a self-hosting key e.g. on the sign-up page:
We just need a few details in order to get you a self-hosted Fleet Premium license key.

Hi @James Belchamber! How many hosts are you working with? We do offer cloud hosting for larger deployments.

Two, so far - so, not very many 😅 we'll be expanding over the next six months but not explosively. I'm actually looking for it to be hosted because hosting a bunch of stuff ourselves for a few hosts isn't practical - if we had many hosts I wouldn't need the cloud hosting.

While that isn't something that we offer for small deployments, there are some pretty quick and painless ways to get up and running with Fleet. I'd recommend using Kubernetes or Docker. There's also an AWS/Terraform setup, but that may be a little bit of overkill for you starting out.

Yes, I actually do this for a living 🙂 so I could deploy these. I've just trying to delay running our own infrastructure until it's absolutely necessary, since once we do we also need to look after it 🙃 thank you!

Good luck, and feel free to let me know if you do run in to any trouble. It's a fairly lightweight setup, so hopefully there won't be too much babysitting to be done! I'll keep lobbying for a SaaS option for smaller deployments, but it isn't something that's on the roadmap at the moment.
