Summary
As we approach the launch of Datum Cloud compute, we want to make sure the CLI experience feels polished and developer-friendly from day one — not something bolted on after the fact.
This document proposes a
datumctl computecommand group designed around what developers actually do: deploy a workload, watch it roll out, check its health, get logs, and inspect instances when something breaks. The goal is to close the gap between "I have a container image" and "my workload is healthy across multiple cities" without requiring developers to understand the platform's internal resource model.The proposal covers six workflows with example output for each:
workload.yamlon first create;-yfor CI pipelinesLooking for feedback on the overall shape — whether the workflows match how the team expects developers to use the platform, and whether anything important is missing before this moves to implementation planning.
