Clusterward
For CTOs & technical leads

For CTOs: operations that don’t depend on one person

As CTO, you want your teams to deliver, costs to stay predictable and operations to keep running when someone is on vacation. Clusterward turns Kubernetes operations on Scaleway into a system with rules, a log and an overview – instead of a collection of scripts in one person’s head.

In brief

What Clusterward solves for technical leadership

Clusterward is the control plane for your applications on Scaleway Kubernetes. For the CTO, that means clusters, databases, buckets, domains and deployments are created by the same rules, no matter who on the team sets them up. Knowledge lives in pipelines, templates and roles rather than in individual heads, every change is recorded in the audit log, and everything runs in your own Scaleway project – without being tied to a proprietary platform.

How it works

How a team works with Clusterward

  1. 01

    Set the framework

    You define clusters, roles, templates and alerts once.

  2. 02

    Teams deliver

    Developers deploy from Git and create databases and domains themselves – within the rules.

  3. 03

    The system keeps watch

    Failures, expiring certificates and due updates report themselves.

  4. 04

    You steer

    The dashboard shows what is running, what is stuck and what is coming up next.

What’s included

What changes for technical leadership

Less dependence on individuals, more visibility – without building your own platform team.

Predictable costs

A fixed monthly price based on the number of clusters: €99 for two, €299 for ten, €799 for unlimited. Users, applications and builds cost nothing extra, and Scaleway bills you directly.

No single point of knowledge

How a customer is created or an app is rolled out is captured in the system as a pipeline and template. New team members contribute on day one – without an introduction to someone’s private scripts.

No lock-in

Your applications run as normal Kubernetes objects in your own Scaleway project. Dumps and exports use standard formats; everything keeps running without Clusterward.

Security with evidence

Mandatory 2FA, roles scoped to applications, an IP allowlist and an audit log that records every change by name. Your next audit starts with an export.

Speed for the teams

Deploy from Git with a health check, new customers via pipeline in under a minute, databases and domains without a ticket. API tokens connect your CI.

Overview instead of asking around

One dashboard for all teams: running apps, latest deployments, pending updates, Kubernetes versions and certificates – without asking in the chat.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Clusterward for CTOs

  • For day-to-day operations, usually not. Clusterward takes over what a platform team would otherwise build: secure clusters, deployments, databases, domains, certificates, updates and alerts. Someone on the team should understand Kubernetes, but nobody has to maintain a platform of their own.
