Part V — Deployers and Sources

This part covers where scenarios run and where their nodes come from.

Uniform scenarios deploy to local processes, Docker Compose, or Kubernetes; scenarios can also attach to clusters you already operate. The app layer uses the same cluster request and handle model, with local as its implemented provisioning backend today.

• Capability Matrix — feature support per deployer
• Local Deployer — processes on your machine
• Compose Deployer — containerized clusters
• Kubernetes Deployer — Helm releases in isolated namespaces
• Shared Cluster Provisioning — one request and handle model across cluster sources
• Existing and External Clusters — attaching to live systems
• Binary Providers — resolving node binaries: path, env, build, download
• Readiness, Retry, and Artifact Preservation — deployment policy
