We want to make Scalr a low-risk, no brainer choice for managing your cloud infrastructure. This is why we release Scalr open source software under the
Apache 2 license. Not only does this give you
the freedom to deploy wherever, but it also frees you from being locked into the Scalr hosted service.
You need to keep in mind that
setting up Scalr open-source and its components may be hard. In addition, if you plan to tweak the code,
updates may be difficult to implement. If you are just trying to discover how Scalr works, we definitely recommend signing-up and testing Scalr for free for 30 days. If you plan to deploy Scalr to manage your company’s servers and need to support to assist you, please see our
Scalr for enterprise offer.
