Introduction

Real-time infrastructure topology for modern teams — see every VM, container, and Kubernetes resource on one live canvas.

InfraCanvas is a real-time map of your infrastructure. Connect a VM and within seconds you see its hosts, Docker containers, and Kubernetes resources as a live topology — health, relationships, and metrics included. No YAML, no Helm charts, no SSH tunnels.

How it works

InfraCanvas has two pieces:

  • The agent — a single lightweight binary you run on each machine. It discovers the host, Docker, Kubernetes (and LXD/Incus) locally and streams a graph to the cloud over a single outbound WebSocket. It never opens an inbound port.
  • The dashboardcloud.infracanvas.app, where the live canvas, terminals, actions, and metrics live.
your VM ──(outbound WSS)──▶ relay ──▶ dashboard (your browser)
  └─ agent: host · docker · kubernetes · lxd

Why teams use it

  • Zero-config discovery — point the agent at a box, get a full topology. No manual inventory.
  • Live, not a snapshot — the canvas updates as containers start, pods reschedule, and nodes come and go.
  • Act from the canvas — open a terminal, tail logs, restart a container, scale a deployment, edit a manifest — without leaving the browser.
  • Ask Claude — connect the MCP server and query or operate your infra in natural language.
