     The instructions below are for installing the **Control Plane**. If you just need to install the **Orb Agent** (`orb-agent`), [see these instructions instead](/documentation/running_orb_agent).
 
-The **Control Plane** can be [self-hosted](#self-host), or you can use our free [Orb SaaS](#orblive) service. Self-hosting gives you full privacy and control but is more complex. On the other hand, our SaaS gets you up and running quickly since you only need to create a free account on orb.live and then install the **Orb Agent** to your infrastructure.

-The Orb SaaS platform ([**orb.live**](http://orb.live)) is now in active development. This free service allows you to enjoy the benefits of the Orb platform without having to run your own control plane.

 ### Introducing Orb
 
-**Orb** is a modern network observability platform built to provide critical visibility into increasingly complex and distributed networks. It can analyze network traffic, run synthetic network probes, and connect the resulting telemetry directly to your existing observability stacks with OpenTelemetry.
