This section is for operators and DevOps teams who deploy and maintain Fred Swift 2.0 instances (fred-agents, fred-runtime).

For developer setup (local tokens, model selection) see the Developer Guide. For the end-user perspective, see the User Guide.

Key differences from Kea operations

Swift 2.0 uses a simpler service topology than Kea. fred-agents is a standalone Python pod — there is no separate agentic backend. The same two-file model configuration pattern applies (configuration.yaml + models_catalog.yaml), but there is no Knowledge Flow dependency for agents that do not use RAG tools.

Operations pages are being added as Swift 2.0 reaches general availability.

Migration runbook

Migrating an existing kea deployment to swift — including data transfer, schema transforms, validation checklists, and rollback procedures — is covered in the kea → swift migration runbook.
