Bring your Semantic Kernel application online

Deploy your C# or Python application using a CPU VM and a container or Linux service.

1

Choose your instance

Create a Dedicated CPU instance and configure persistent storage, networking and application access.

2

Deploy a pinned application

Deploy your C# or Python application with pinned Semantic Kernel packages and a compatible model connector.

3

Connect and test

Connect model credentials and data services, then test authentication, tool execution and conversation restoration. Setup caveat: Pin dependencies and validate connector support. Multi-agent orchestration and Agent RAG remain experimental; vector APIs are in preview. Configure permissions, backups and recovery for the application.

Know your Semantic Kernel hosting costs

Estimate CPU capacity, storage and public-IP charges for your application. Add model usage and supporting services separately when planning the complete operating budget.

No Fluence egress fees

Estimates before VM provisioning

Compute, storage and IP breakdown

Note: Estimates cover CPU hosting. Model APIs, additional services and self-hosted inference are priced separately.
