# Clusters Public route: ## What clusters are QuickPod clusters let you run multiple replicas of a workload under one logical deployment instead of managing each pod separately. ## Current cluster concepts The current cluster surface includes: * cluster creation from templates * replica management * start and stop controls * rolling redeploy behavior * scale workflows * replica health visibility * cluster storage modes * cluster services and connect behavior ## Storage modes Clusters can be configured with no cluster volume, shared storage, or sharded storage depending on how the workload should persist data. ## Why use clusters Clusters are useful when you want a repeatable deployment model for: * multi-replica inference or API backends * services you want to expose through a stable service layer * workloads that need shared or predictable storage behavior across replicas ## Related public and authenticated routes * Public cluster landing page: * Cluster detail after login: `/clusters/:id` * Serverless publishing on top of cluster services: `/serverless` ## Notes QuickPod's cluster features are implemented in QuickPod's own control plane and routing model. They should be understood in QuickPod terms rather than generic Kubernetes terminology. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
