From the first guide to an in-depth article on rollbacks: here you’ll find everything you need to get started with Kubernetes on Scaleway Kapsule with Clusterward, put it in context and run it safely day to day.
Scaleway Kapsule is the managed Kubernetes service of the French cloud provider Scaleway. Scaleway runs the control plane with the API server, scheduler and etcd; you decide on the node pools your applications run on. In the shared variant, the control plane costs nothing – you pay for nodes, load balancers, storage and databases.
What Kapsule doesn’t include is everything above the cluster: ingress, certificates, deployments from Git, database connections, secrets, backups and monitoring. That is exactly the layer Clusterward takes over – the resources on this page explain how.
Five stops, depending on where you are right now – from the first half hour to day-to-day operations.
The guide takes you from your Scaleway project to your first deployment in about thirty minutes.
The glossary explains Kapsule, workspace, tenant, cutover and the other terms.
The comparisons with Qovery and DIY show where Clusterward fits – and where it doesn’t.
The blog covers costs, upgrades, secrets, rollbacks and monitoring in detail.
The changelog shows, month by month, what’s new, what got better and what’s fixed.
Six steps from your Scaleway project to your first deployment with a database, domain and alerts. About thirty minutes, no installation.
