Ksctl: Simplified Kubernetes Clusters Lifecycle Management

Let's Make Kubernetes accessible to Developers

Visit ksctl docs for the full documentation, examples and guides.

It aims to simplify a collection of kubernetes clusters running on different cloud providers. It provides a simple and intuitive interface for managing Kubernetes clusters. It is designed to be efficient and can perform tasks quickly and without the need for additional tools. It is a powerful tool that can be used to perform a wide range of tasks.

It is already a valuable tool for developers who want to manage Kubernetes clusters using our CLI. And Get started with Kubernetes without thinking about the infrastructure & configurations. Just run ksctl create and your cluster is ready to be used be it a local cluster or a cloud provider managed cluster. It makes the developers skip the cluster setup step as well as day 0 work. Soon we will work on day 1 operations and so on 🙂

So It helps you to avoid using Aws, Azure cli and just create and manage the cluster using a single CLI interface

ksctl Components

The main components of ksctl include:

• ksctl

It is home to cluster provisioner, Kubernetes Bootstrap, cost & optimization management, addon trigger, interface for cli to use

• ksctl/cli (cli)

It contains the end-user CLI interface. It can perform cluster: create, delete, connect, scaleup, scaledown, list, get; addons: enable, disable

• Ksctl Cluster Management (kcm)

It contains Kubernetes Controller for manageming ksctl specific cluster addons for now ksctl stack is a part of it. In future we are planning for more kubernetes related addons support like unifying EKS, AKS addons as well.

• Ksctl Application (ka)

It has the controller for ksctl application stack functionality

So far what have we achieved?

• Cluster Operations
  • Create
  • Delete
  • Get Cluster infra details
  • Storage of state in not just local system but also mongodb
  • Manually Scaleup and Scaledown using the CLI interface
  • Switch Between Clusters
  • Wasm, application stack deployment
• Type Of Cluster
  • Self-Managed HA Cluster
    • K3s
    • Kubeadm
  • Cloud Managed Cluster
    • AKS
    • EKS
• Lifecycle
  • You can now deploy wasm workloads using our Ksctl application stack
  • Common Application Stack Deployment. Example are gitops, monitoring, etc Refer
