Clusters

A Cluster represents the connection between Scalegrid.ai and the infrastructure where your managed services are provisioned and operated. It acts as a bridge between our control plane and your cloud or on-premise environment, allowing Scalegrid to deploy, monitor, and manage your services seamlessly.

You will typically have one cluster per region and cloud, but a single cluster can support multiple service deployments — providing flexibility, reusability, and simplified resource management.

Your service deployments can span across multiple clusters, enabling multi-region and multi-cloud redundancy, disaster recovery, and low-latency access for end-users.

Each cluster encapsulates the configuration required to access and manage resources in a specific cloud and region.

For users transitioning from the legacy Scalegrid platform (console.scalegrid.io), a cluster is equivalent to a cloud profile from the previous system.

Clusters can be configured for public or private cloud environments, depending on your deployment strategy and compliance requirements.

Clusters are isolated by design, meaning deployments on one cluster do not affect others. This provides strong fault isolation and simplifies environment separation (e.g., dev, staging, prod).

You also have fine-grained control over who can access and manage each cluster within Scalegrid. Access is governed by role-based permissions — only users with roles explicitly granted access to a cluster can view or modify it. This ensures secure delegation and limits exposure of sensitive configurations across teams.

To improve organization and visibility, you can assign labels to each cluster. These labels help you quickly locate and filter resources across your Scalegrid environment. In BYOC (Bring Your Own Cluster) deployments, these labels are also propagated to the underlying infrastructure, ensuring consistency and traceability across both Scalegrid and your cluster environment.
