Project: Minimal OS with Kubernetes Support

This document outlines the roadmap for the development of a custom operating system. It includes key components and features that will be implemented as part of the project.

Project Description

• Goal: This project aims to develop a minimal operating system with the primary goal of supporting Kubernetes. The OS will not have a graphical user interface (GUI) and will focus solely on the necessary components to run Kubernetes effectively.

Roadmap Checklist

Phase 1: Basic OS Setup

• ** Initialize basic kernel structures (GDT, IDT)**
  • 
• Implement basic input/output (keyboard, VGA display)
  • 
• Interrupt Descriptor Table (IDT) and Interrupts
  • 
• Set up a timer and basic interrupt handling
  • 
• Physical memory management
  • 
• PBasic paging implementation
  • 
• Paging and Virtual Memory
  • 

Phase 2: Advanced Memory and Process Management

• ** Implement dynamic memory allocation (heap)**
  • 
• File System Implementation
  • 
• Develop a simple filesystem (e.g., FAT32)
  • 
• Implement basic multitasking (processes and threads)
  • 
• User mode and system calls implementation
  • 

Phase 3: Networking and Kubernetes Support

• Basic TCP/IP stack implementation
  • 
• Develop necessary drivers for network communication
  • 
• Kubernetes minimal runtime environment setup
  • 
• Testing Kubernetes functionality
  • 

Phase 4: Finalizing and Testing

• Optimize for performance and stability
  • 
• Extensive testing and bug fixing
  • 
• Documentation of the OS and setup instructions
  • 
• Final integration and compatibility testing with Kubernetes
  • 

Additional Notes

• This roadmap is a living document and may evolve as the project progresses.
• Security: Implement basic security features necessary for Kubernetes.
• Modularity: Focus on modularity in the OS design to ease future enhancements.
• Community Feedback: If open-source, seek community feedback and contributions.
