We review how to describe the stable non‐BPS D‐branes of type II string theory from a classical perspective, and discuss the properties of the space‐time geometry associated to these configurations. This is relevant in order to see whether and how the gauge/gravity correspondence can be formulated in non‐conformal and non‐supersymmetric settings.
