Documentation

Built for the people who will run it.

Requirements, deployment models, the API, CLI and Terraform provider — and the full documentation set that ships with every licence.

The documentation set

Everything your operators and auditors need.

Delivered with every licence, and available to your team throughout a proof of concept.

  • Operator guide

    Installation, day-2 operations, upgrades, backup and recovery.

  • Team guide

    Self-service for project teams: machines, clusters, apps, databases, storage.

  • Security whitepaper

    The controls on the Security & Sovereignty page, in auditor-ready detail.

  • API reference

    Every endpoint, with request and response schemas.

  • CLI reference

    Every command, for scripting and automation.

  • Terraform provider

    Resources and data sources for every sCloud service.

  • sAxess PRO integration

    Card enrolment, approval policies, M-of-N and revocation.

  • Release notes & advisories

    What changed in each signed release, and security advisories.

System requirements

Standard servers you already know how to run.

sCloud runs on mainstream rack servers. We confirm the exact sizing for your workloads in the scoping call and write it into your quote.

What we size with you

  • Servers in a production cluster
  • CPU per server
  • Memory per server
  • Local disks for storage
  • Network interfaces and switching
  • Out-of-band management
  • sAxess PRO Card readers for approvers

Deployment models

Connected, air-gapped or across sites.

The same software and the same capabilities in every model. Only how releases reach you changes.

Connected

Your data centre, with an outbound connection you control.

  • Download signed releases and advisories directly
  • Optional remote support, opened by you and recorded
  • Everything else stays inside your network

Air-gapped

No route to the internet, ever.

  • Signed release bundles imported on offline media
  • sCloud Identity and sAxess PRO work fully offline
  • Support by phone and exported diagnostics you review first

Multi-site

Two or more data centres that you own.

  • One sCloud per site, under the same identity and policies
  • Backups and snapshots replicated to a recovery site
  • Control-plane restore into the recovery site

API, CLI & Terraform

Anything you can click, you can code.

One public API underneath everything — governed by the same roles, quotas and approval policies as the console.

REST API

The console is built on it, so the API covers every action — with the same roles, quotas and sAxess PRO approval policies.

CLI

One binary for operators and teams, signing in through sCloud Identity with a card or FIDO2 key.

Terraform provider

Declare machines, clusters, networks, databases and buckets as code. Critical changes still wait for card approval.
