# Introduction

Valohai is a modular MLOps platform that orchestrates your ML workflows through configuration, without any invasive SDKs touching your code.

Run experiments on any infrastructure like AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle, Snowflake, on-premises, Kubernetes, Slurm. Start where it hurts most (data versioning, pipelines, compute efficiency) and expand from there.

***

## Already Running ML Somewhere?

**Valohai fits into your existing stack.**

We don't require rip-and-replace. If you're using MLflow, SageMaker, custom scripts, or Kubeflow—keep them. Valohai adds orchestration, reproducibility, and compute efficiency on top of what you already have.

## Learn the Platform

### Core Concepts

Understand how Valohai works and why it's built this way:

* [Docker in Valohai](https://docs.valohai.com/docker-in-valohai) — bring your own images
* [Data Versioning](https://docs.valohai.com/models/artifacts-and-versioning) — automatic lineage and caching
