ZeusK8s
Kubernetes control plane

Many clusters.
One operable system. Still yours.

  • One cluster is manageable.
  • Two is painful.
  • Three is when nobody fully understands it anymore.

ZeusK8s joins EKS, GKE, and Proxmox/k3s into one fabric — encrypted cross-cluster networking, multi-region databases, and health-checked DNS. One console. Your cloud accounts. No kubectl required. Exportable Kubernetes underneath.

The part tutorials skip

Day one is easy. Month twelve is not.

An AI assistant can stand up a cluster in an afternoon. What it will not do is keep cross-region networking sane, prove failover works, or stop the person who set it up from becoming a single point of failure. The gap is operable multi-cluster — not more YAML.

Terraform, Lens, kubectl, Grafana, three cloud consoles — none of them share context. Config drifts. The DR plan is untested. Zeus exists so those seams live in one place you can see and operate.

Where most teams end up

Most teams land in one of two traps.

Neither was a deliberate strategy. Both show up when connecting infrastructure is harder than shipping product.

Live with the mess

Proper multi-cluster networking, identity, DNS, and failover usually means years of specialist work. Without that, knowledge sits in one or two heads and the system gets hard to hand off.

Hand it to a black box

Managed platforms that hide the infrastructure get you moving fast. They also own your reliability story. When they go down, you go down — and leaving is a migration project.

You don't need infrastructure hidden or outsourced. You need it operable, and still yours.

What happens when something dies

Failover you can reason about — before the outage.

Operators do not buy promises. They buy known behavior when a region, a primary, or a control plane goes quiet.

A region or cluster is unreachable

Health-checked DNS stops answering from the dead side and serves healthy candidates. Internal mesh names and public hostnames use the same health model.

The database primary is gone

Topology, lag, and failover controls live in one board. MySQL multi-cluster auto-arbiter when eligible; guided switchover and rebuild paths for every engine.

Zeus control plane is quiet

Clusters keep running. Mesh DNS keeps last-known-good answers on disk. You are never one SaaS outage away from losing the fleet.

What ZeusK8s does

One fabric. Data that follows. Failover you can exercise.

Three jobs, one product: join clusters across clouds into a private network, run multi-region databases without rewriting apps, and route traffic with health-checked DNS. Provisioning is the on-ramp — the fabric and the data are the product.

Clusters run in your AWS account, your GCP project, or on Proxmox/k3s. Zeus is the control plane. Remove it and the clusters keep running.

01
One global fabric

Many clusters that behave like one network

Join clusters across AWS, Google, and Proxmox/k3s into a single encrypted fabric. A service in Frankfurt can call a service in Ohio by name, over real pod IPs. Continuous reachability probes prove the path is live.

WireGuard overlay plus mesh CA injection. Default-deny grants; non-colliding IPAM; no hand-rolled peering maze.

02
Data that follows your apps

A database already in the other region

Deploy MySQL, PostgreSQL, or ClickHouse and tell it to go global. Shared topology, backups, and failover controls. Existing apps keep their normal endpoint.

No rewrite unless you want sync multi-master (Yugabyte). Recovery paths match each engine — Zeus surfaces that honestly.

03
Kubernetes on anything

The same workflow on every provider

EKS, GKE, Proxmox/k3s — provisioned through one flow that does not change when the substrate does. No kubectl required. Output is ordinary Kubernetes.

No proprietary runtime. Export kubeconfig whenever you want. Zeus is the control plane; the clusters stay in your accounts.

One console, every cluster

Every cluster you own, on one screen.

AWS, Google, and Proxmox/k3s in one list — same status, same actions, same mental model. When the substrate changes, the workflow does not.

Data that follows your apps

A database that's already in the other region.

Deploy MySQL, PostgreSQL, or ClickHouse and tell it to go global. Zeus places members across your clusters with monitoring, backups, and failover controls. Your app keeps a normal database endpoint.

One platform, not one trick

Everything between bare infrastructure and a running platform.

Credentials, services, images, customer domains, IAM, and live workloads — usually six tools that don't talk. Zeus puts them on one surface so diagnosis doesn't mean six logins.

One cluster or five

Consistent config across every cluster

Most teams start with one cluster they half-understand. Zeus makes that one legible — and stays out of your way when you add more.

Builds & CI

Builds: native multi-arch, no queues

One builder per build. No QEMU. No blocked teams waiting for a slow job to free a runner.

Explore →
Config management

Environments: layered config, no drift

Config drift — a value different in prod than staging — is behind most outages nobody can explain.

Explore →
Deployment tracking

Deployments: know what's running, everywhere

"What version is in prod right now?" shouldn't be a research project — but across multiple clusters it always becomes one.

Explore →
Global deploy

Global deploy: one action, every region

When you have more than two clusters, per-cluster deploy scripts stop making sense. Nobody fully understands them anymore.

Explore →
Cloud IAM

IAM: per-service cloud identity, no static keys

A long-lived access key in every image, with unknown scope. That's how most teams handle cloud access.

Explore →
Deployment model

Run Zeus anywhere: cloud or self-hosted

Your control plane, your call. Same product, same price — the only difference is where your config lives.

One credential store

Connections: every secret, one place

Stop scattering API keys across services, environments, and every place they end up.

Explore →
Build & deploy

Services: define, build, ship

23 YAML files and a Helm chart nobody fully understands — that's the default. There's a better way.

Explore →
DNS & certificates

Domains: DNS and certs, automatic

Expiry pages and manual cert renewals are a solved problem. Zeus just never told you.

Explore →
The global fabric

Networking: many clusters, one fabric

VPC peering you don't fully understand is a liability. Zeus replaces it with something you can read.

Explore →
Stateful data

Data: global, backed up, recoverable

Your DR runbook is a Notion doc. Your backups have never been tested. That's the real risk.

Explore →
Identity & RBAC

Security: identity, RBAC, compliance

Access keys baked into images. Over-permissioned roles. The audit will find them before you do.

Explore →
See everything

Observability: live, not after the fact

Engineers in panic mode, googling why pods are evicting, is not an observability strategy.

Explore →
Day-two

Operations: provision, upgrade, tear down

Tribal knowledge and a DR runbook nobody has tested — that’s what most teams are actually running on.

AI assistant & MCP

An assistant that already knows your clusters

The knowledge of how your clusters actually behave usually lives in one person’s head. Zeus reads the same live infrastructure and answers when they’re out.

Built for platform and infra teams

No kubectl. No YAML. Still a real platform.

Define a service, pick environments, deploy to EKS, GKE, or Proxmox/k3s. Zeus composes the manifests. Open Advanced when you want the real knobs — the abstraction does not lie.

  • Build images in Zeus or bring your own
  • One service definition across every cluster
  • Secrets, IAM, and health checks in the same flow

Visible config. Honest Advanced.

Intent up front. Real knobs one click down.

Say what you want to run; Zeus picks sane defaults. Open Advanced and you see the real settings and generated manifests — not a black box. Output is ordinary Kubernetes you can export and kubectl.

  • One source of truth
    Not scattered across repos, values files, and people's heads. The console matches what's running.
  • Related things stay together
    App, database, network policy, and permissions managed as a unit — not four files you reconcile by hand.
  • No kubectl. No YAML required.
    Build images, define services, deploy from the console. Advanced still shows real settings and generated manifests when experts want them.

We need multi-region without rewriting the app onto a distributed database. Keep MySQL; put it in more than one place.
