# Full mode

> Install the serving fabric in your target cloud for development or production.

![Full mode: the Tensor9 CLI installs the serving image and its supporting fabric into your target cloud.](https://mintcdn.com/tensor9/ufP2gYsEkScmc1Bt/images/cloud-adapter-early-access/diagrams/cloud-adapter-provisioned-light.svg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=ufP2gYsEkScmc1Bt\&q=85\&s=895e8a196e4188abfa79842e3dfe6218)

**Full mode** uses `tensor9 adapt cloud install` to create the target-cloud fabric that hosts the serving image. It supports development and production environments; there is no separate production mode. The installed fabric provides the runtime's placement, identity, networking and lifecycle.

## When to use it

Choose full mode when you need an installed cloud environment rather than a local Docker runtime. Installation does not by itself establish production readiness: verify your selected release, service mappings, identity controls, recovery procedures and availability requirements.

## Installation and configuration

The install consumes a [configuration](https://docs.tensor9.com/cloud-adapter-early-access/configuration/overview.md) describing the origin and target services. Follow the installation instructions for your target cloud and release, review the resulting resources and permissions, then verify the endpoint with a bounded request before directing application traffic.

Keep the configuration under review and change control. A change of backend may require data migration even when the configuration remains valid.

## Develop from your laptop

Use `tensor9 adapt cloud connect` to reach the installed adapter from your local AWS CLI, SDKs and application tests. It prints connection instructions; `--forward` opens the tunnel and `--env` configures your development shell. Follow [Local Development](https://docs.tensor9.com/cloud-adapter-early-access/local-testing/local-development.md) for the complete two-terminal workflow.

## Updates and ownership

Full mode uses container images selected by digest. You own the installed cloud resources, credentials, data and cloud billing. Tensor9 supplies the adapter implementation and installation tooling. Plan upgrades and recovery against the capabilities of your actual installed release.
