This is great - would be good as a follow up to do similar with AI Edge?

@mattdjenkinson yes, something I'd like to play with is a plugin system for datumctl datum-cloud/datumctl#197. |

do we want to support datumctl compute ssh or similar to get a shell into a running instance?

Yes, that will be a long term goal. Though, I'd probably do datumctl compute exec to align with kubectl / docker.

I'd also want to have a debug command that lets you attach ephemeral containers to instances so you can get additional tools that may not be installed on the running containers.

Summary
Proposes the developer experience for
datumctl compute— the CLI surface for deploying and managing containerized workloads on Datum Cloud.The RFC covers the command taxonomy, flag design, interactive flows, output formats, and example workflows for the three primary use cases: flag-driven deploy, manifest-driven deploy, and day-2 operations (scale, rollout, restart, status).
