Managed, self-hosted, or hybrid CI/CD? Understand your options

The text discusses three hosting options for CI/CD tools: managed, self-hosted, and hybrid. Managed CI/CD is a cloud-based fully managed platform that abstracts away most infrastructure details. Self-hosted CI/CD requires the user to manage their own control plane and compute, offering more control but also requiring more effort. Hybrid CI/CD combines elements of both managed and self-hosted options, allowing users to run the compute resources while using a SaaS product for management. Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages in terms of security, speed, convenience, scalability, and cost. The text provides a decision tree based on these factors to help users choose the right CI/CD tool for their project.
