Advanced deployment options with full root access and dedicated IPv4
While RepoCloud’s standard deployment options meet most users’ needs, some scenarios require greater control and flexibility. For these cases, we offer “Platform Apps” - specialized applications that provide enhanced capabilities for advanced users.
Platform Apps provide deeper system access, dedicated IPs, and more control than standard RepoCloud applications while still benefiting from our managed infrastructure.
