Short answer

How can I deploy services using my AI?

You provide your AI with a YAML template or a ZIP package, and it manages the deployment process through Zeabur. It handles everything from preparing the files to launching the service on the cloud.

Deployment outcomes

Where your services land.

What happens after you give your AI the deployment instructions.

LIVE

Active cloud services

The AI finishes the deployment process. You get a running service accessible via the web.

STAGED

Ready for review

The AI uploads your files to a staging area. You can check the contents before the final launch.

ERROR

Deployment failures

If the configuration is broken, the AI identifies the issue. You'll need to fix the code or template manually.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

The AI handles the heavy lifting, but you stay in control of the final approval for production pushes.

The workflow

What your AI does when the deployment request arrives.

The AI moves through a specific sequence to turn your files into running infrastructure.

  1. Prepare the files

    The AI organizes your code or configuration into a format Zeabur can process.

    prepare_deployment

  2. Upload to staging

    Your files are sent to a secure upload stage to ensure they are ready for the cloud.

    create_upload_stage

  3. Execute deployment

    The AI triggers the actual launch using your provided configuration.

    deploy_template

  4. Verify status

    The AI monitors the deployment to ensure the service reaches a running state.

    deploy_template

FAQ

How the deployment behaves

  • 01

    Can my AI deploy services from a GitHub repo?

    No. The AI currently deploys using YAML templates or ZIP packages provided in the chat context.

  • 02

    Does the AI handle billing for the cloud services?

    No. The AI manages the deployment process, but all billing and subscription management happens directly through Zeabur.

  • 03

    Can I ask the AI to delete a service?

    No. The available tools only cover preparing and executing deployments, not managing or deleting existing services.

  • 04

    What happens if my YAML file has a syntax error?

    The deployment will fail. The AI will report the error, and you will have to fix the file before trying again.

  • 05

    Can the AI deploy to AWS or Google Cloud instead?

    No. This specific connector is built to work with Zeabur's deployment infrastructure.
