Clusterward
Partner program

Become a partner: Clusterward for your clients

You bring clients to Kubernetes, we provide the control plane. As partners, agencies, IT service providers and consultants run their clients’ applications on Scaleway with Clusterward – with training, priority support and joint marketing.

Who it’s for

For teams that run applications for others

The program is a good fit if you don’t just build client projects but also keep them running.

Systems integrators & IT service providers

Operations for clients on a European cloud, with a separate workspace per client if you wish.

Workspaces per client

Consultants & freelancers

Kubernetes and cloud consulting with a tool that stays with the client after the project – after a migration, for example.

Benefits

What you get as a partner

  • Training

    Your team learns the cockpit, workflows and safety nets on a real project.

  • Priority support

    Your requests go straight to the team that builds and runs Clusterward.

  • Joint marketing

    We agree with you on how we present ourselves together to your clients.

  • Your feedback in the product

    Requirements from your client projects feed into further development.

For your customers

What your customers get

The benefit doesn’t stop with the partner – it reaches the customer.

  • Data in the EU

    Resources live with Scaleway in EU data centers, and the control plane runs in the EU as well.

  • Resources stay with the customer

    Clusters, databases and buckets belong to the owner of the Scaleway project – your customer, if you like.

  • Roles and audit log

    Everyone sees only their own projects, and every change in the cockpit can be traced.

  • Connect existing clusters

    Running Kubernetes clusters are connected via kubeconfig, and applications are taken over step by step.

Process

How the partnership begins

  1. 01

    Initial call

    Your clients, your current setup and which model suits you.

  2. 02

    Getting to know the cockpit

    We show you Clusterward on a project you bring along.

  3. 03

    Training

    Your team learns deployments, databases, domains and pipelines in the cockpit.

  4. 04

    First client project

    We set up the first project together and remain available.

Two models

One workspace for all clients, or one per client

Both approaches use the same features. Which one fits depends on who operates the cockpit.

One workspace for your client projects

You run all clients in your workspace. Roles scoped to applications ensure everyone sees only their own projects.

One workspace per client

Each client gets their own workspace with its own database, its own key and its own subdomain – you look after it as a partner.

Who does what

Clear division of responsibilities

You remain your clients’ point of contact. Clusterward provides the control plane and keeps it up to date. The Scaleway resources are created in the project you specify – your client’s project or your own.
