Gough for Cluster Administrators
Get one screen that shows your whole fleet’s health — bare metal, containers and VMs, and cloud instances alike — then follow a written procedure, not institutional memory, when something needs attention.
Pain points
- Operators need one place to see fleet health, not five separate dashboards split by hardware type or cloud provider.
- Day-two routines — backups, capacity checks, certificate rotation — get skipped when they aren’t scripted and scheduled.
- When something breaks, the on-call person needs a written procedure, not a Slack archaeology dig.
How Gough helps
- One screen shows every machine, deployment, and audit event across your fleet — you don’t need five different tools to know what’s going on, and you can open a shell on any node without leaving the browser. (WebUI + CLI Operator Console)
- Bare metal, LXD containers and VMs, and cloud instances across five providers are all machines in the same inventory — no separate console for cloud versus what's racked in your own datacenter. (Bare Metal, Containers, VMs & Cloud — One API)
- Built-in daily, weekly, and monthly checklists, plus a written response for every alert, mean day-two operations follow a plan instead of getting invented on the spot. (Monitoring, Runbooks & DR)
- A simple guide matches your fleet size to the right storage approach, so choosing and monitoring storage isn’t guesswork. (Pluggable Storage Backends)
- One command shows recent activity and overall cluster health, so you know where to start before reaching for a specific procedure. (Hash-Chained Audit Trail)
