# BYOH ## Introduction If you have a host already running somewhere in the cloud or on-premise, you can bring that to DuploCloud using BYOH functionality and let DuploCloud manage the host, let it be running the containers or installing the compliance agents. ## Add new BYO host To configure BYOH go to **Cloud Services** -> **Hosts**, and select the **BYOH** tab. Click on **Add** and provide the name, IP Address and in the Fleet type select Native App (if you don’t, DuploCloud will not manage the containers but manage the compliance agents on the host), provide the username, password/Private key file. Make sure SSH access to the host is opened to access from DuploCloud.

## Confirm server agent status Within about 5 minutes of adding the host, you can go to **Security** -> **Agents** and see that the agent on host is in Active state. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/extras-overview/byoh.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
