# Getting Started

In order to get started with SCEPman, we have prepared two guides that address different requirements and scopes for your deployment scenario.

**Please use the table below**, to decide which of the two guides is best suited for your scenario.

## Decision Matrix

{% hint style="info" %}
In case you have Azure resource naming conventions, high availability or auto-scaling requirements that you'd also like to trial, please directly start with **Extended Guide** - even for your Trial/PoC. This will allow you to re-use the deployment in production later on.
