title: Waldur Site Agent
hoverText: An agent that bridges Waldur with a service provider's local infrastructure, synchronizing orders, allocations, quotas, and usage.
---

The Waldur Site Agent is an open-source component of the Waldur ecosystem that runs on a service provider's side and acts as the bridge between Waldur Core and the local resource management system. It periodically polls the Waldur API for new orders and allocation changes, provisions or updates the corresponding resources on the local backend, and reports usage and quota data back to Waldur. Pluggable backends exist for Slurm, Kubernetes, and other systems; in Themelio, a Kubernetes site agent (`services/waldur-k8s-site-agent` in the monorepo) is used to reconcile project allocations with Kubernetes namespaces and quotas.
