# Service Overview

OwlDB is a managed database platform that installs databases in cloud and on-premises environments and registers, integrates, and manages them as DB Services. On this page, you can check OwlDB's operating environments, key features, and supported engines and topologies.

## Operating Environment <a href="#operating-environment" id="operating-environment"></a>

### Cloud Environment Support <a href="#cloud-support" id="cloud-support"></a>

This is a method of dynamically creating and operating databases by utilizing cloud infrastructure resources. Based on IaC (Infrastructure as Code), it automates infrastructure provisioning and database configuration, allowing users to build and scale database environments with the desired specifications from the console.

### On-premises Environment Support <a href="#on-premise-support" id="on-premise-support"></a>

This is a method of operating databases based on physical infrastructure resources that the customer owns, such as servers, networks, and storage. It is designed to efficiently utilize fixed infrastructure resources and supports closed-network environments that are disconnected from external networks. Through OwlDB, you can install new databases on hosts or integrate databases already in operation as OwlDB management targets for unified control.

### Scope of Provision by License <a href="#scope-by-license" id="scope-by-license"></a>

OwlDB differs in its provided environments and features depending on the license.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

OwlDB DBaaS can only manage DBs newly deployed through OwlDB, and it does not support registering DBs already in operation. **DB licenses you already own can be transferred via the BYOL (Bring Your Own License) method** and applied to DBs newly deployed in OwlDB DBaaS.

## Key Features <a href="#key-features" id="key-features"></a>

Based on common management features generally used in both environments, OwlDB provides dedicated features optimized for the infrastructure characteristics of cloud and on-premises respectively.
