Ployz turns cluster operations into explicit, atomic commands. Instead of writing manifests and waiting for reconcilers, you runDocumentation Index

ployzctl deploy, ployzctl branch, or ployzctl migrate — each command completes or fails cleanly, every time. Ployz targets clusters in the 1–200 node range: small enough to reason about end-to-end, large enough to matter.
Quickstart
Go from a fresh machine to a running cluster in under five minutes.
Installation
Install ployzctl and the daemon on Linux or macOS.
Core Concepts
Understand what makes Ployz different from Kubernetes and other orchestrators.
CLI Reference
Every ployzctl command, flag, and option, documented with examples.
What Ployz does
Ployz gives you a small set of strong operations — primitives — that compose into any workflow you need. There are no controllers, no autoscalers, and no background reconcilers silently rewriting cluster state.Machine operations
Add and remove machines. Drain workloads before removal.
Deploy
Deploy workloads from a manifest or inline flags. Preview before applying.
Branch & promote
Fork an environment atomically for a PR, then promote it to production.
Migrate
Move a workload and its persistent state to a different machine.
How it works
Ployz runs on Linux and macOS. On macOS, the daemon uses the Docker runtime (Docker Desktop or OrbStack required). On Linux, you can use either the Docker or host runtime.
