Clusterward for agenciesPartner 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 clientConsultants & freelancers
Kubernetes and cloud consulting with a tool that stays with the client after the project – after a migration, for example.

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
- 01
Initial call
Your clients, your current setup and which model suits you.
- 02
Getting to know the cockpit
We show you Clusterward on a project you bring along.
- 03
Training
Your team learns deployments, databases, domains and pipelines in the cockpit.
- 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.
More about workspacesFeatures
What you run your customers’ applications with
Partners use the same features as every customer – every feature is included in every plan.
Deployments
From Git, a container image or a Helm chart onto Kapsule, built with Kaniko or GitHub Actions.
More on deploymentsDatabases
Managed PostgreSQL or MySQL on Scaleway, private network only – one database per service.
More on databasesDNS & certificates

More on notificationsWho 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.
