🚀 New blog post: Kubernetes Anywhere. Make it.
How we built OpenKubes — an open platform for running Kubernetes consistently across bare metal, edge, private cloud and public cloud — using Crossplane and Cluster API.
Most organizations run cloud AND on-premises. Managing both consistently is the hard part. OpenKubes changes that.
In this post I share:
→ Why we built OpenKubes
→ How Crossplane + Cluster API work together
→ What zero to production HTTPS looks like in 4 minutes
→ The lessons we learned the hard way
→ Where we are going: Anywhere, Metal, Robotics
The whole platform in 5 commands:
make deploy cluster=ok1
make kubeconfig cluster=ok1
make manager-deploy cluster=ok1
make ingress-setup cluster=ok1
make cert-setup cluster=ok1
