THE PRIVATE-AI DEPLOYMENT BLUEPRINT · TOPOLOGY 3 OF 5
The gate inside the platform
The Zentinelle gateway runs as a service inside an Astrolift install, so traffic born on the platform is governed from its first call.
| Runs | Zentinelle inside an Astrolift install |
|---|---|
| Placement | Sidecar or service, in line |
| Coverage | Every in-platform call is governed |
| Grows into | Add the bench for the full loop |
Governance bolted on after a platform ships is governance the platform learns to route around.
Deploy the gate inside the install and there is no around. Policy, budgets and the audit chain sit in the data path, with no agent code changes, because the gateway is transparent.
