OpsAct vs Hyground
Hyground is a Hamburg company whose AI SRE agent runs entirely inside the customer’s Kubernetes cluster, including air-gapped sites. If everything must stay inside your own perimeter, that is a real strength. OpsAct is hosted in the EU with small agents on your sites, and covers estates that go well beyond Kubernetes.

Where OpsAct differs
Beyond Kubernetes
OpsAct discovers and runs runbooks for VMware, Windows and Linux servers, databases and network switches, not only clusters.
Nothing to host
OpsAct’s control plane is run for you in the EU. On your sites you install small agents that only dial out.
Fixes with approval built in
Plans come from reviewed runbooks, each step marked by risk, and run only after a person approves.
The regulator report
OpsAct drafts DORA and NIS2 reports from the incident record.
