Description

DefectDojo Cloud instances can now run Sensei on their own AI model provider account, as an enterprise option that DefectDojo turns on per instance. These docs say so and give readers a way to request it.

  • AI Model Settings (sensei/ai_model_settings.md): the "On-premise only" note becomes "Where this page appears". A new section, "Bring your own model on DefectDojo Cloud", says how to request the option (hello@defectdojo.com) and how Cloud differs from on-premise:
    • The instance uses only the customer's model and never falls back to DefectDojo's. With nothing saved, Sensei and the other AI features are refused with a message pointing to this page.
    • Every provider needs its own secret (API key, AWS access key ID and secret, or a Vertex service-account key). The "leave the keys blank" setups for Bedrock and Vertex apply only on-premise.
    • The API Base URL must be a public address, and a custom Bedrock endpoint is not available on Cloud.
  • FAQ (get_started/about/faq.md): the deployment note and the Sensei answer mention the Cloud option.
  • Editions (get_started/about/defectdojo_versions.md): one sentence pointing Cloud customers to the option.
  • Sidebar (navigation/PRO__sidebar.md): AI Model Settings also appears on a Cloud instance that brings its own model.

This pairs with the DefectDojo Pro change that adds the option and should merge with it, since docs publish on merge.

Test results

Docs only. The English pages are updated; the translated FAQ and editions pages already lag the English ones and are left for the translation pass.

Documentation

This PR is the documentation.

Describe the enterprise option to run Sensei on a Cloud instance's own model
provider account through AI Model Settings, how it differs from on-premise
(keys required, public base URL only, no fallback to DefectDojo's model), and
point readers to hello@defectdojo.com to request it.
