The container platform tailored for Kubernetes multi-cloud, datacenter, and edge management
English | ไธญๆ
KubeSphere is a distributed operating system for cloud-native application management, using Kubernetes as its kernel. It provides a plug-and-play architecture, allowing third-party applications to be seamlessly integrated into its ecosystem. KubeSphere is also a multi-tenant container platform with full-stack automated IT operation and streamlined DevOps workflows. It provides developer-friendly wizard web UI, helping enterprises to build out a more robust and feature-rich platform, which includes most common functionalities needed for enterprise Kubernetes strategy, see Feature List for details.
The following screenshots give a close insight into KubeSphere. Please check What is KubeSphere for further information.

Multi-dimensional monitoring, events and auditing logs are supported; multi-tenant log query and collection, alerting and notification are built-in. Learn more.๐งฉ Service Mesh (Istio-based)
Provide fine-grained traffic management, observability and tracing for distributed microservice applications, provides visualization for traffic topology. Learn more.๐ป App Store
Provide an App Store for Helm-based applications, and offer application lifecycle management on Kubernetes platform. Learn more.๐ก Edge Computing Platform
KubeSphere integrates KubeEdge to enable users to deploy applications on the edge devices and view logs and monitoring metrics of them on the console. Learn more.๐ Metering and Billing
Track resource consumption at different levels on a unified dashboard, which helps you make better-informed decisions on planning and reduce the cost. Learn more.๐ Support Multiple Storage and Networking Solutions
๐ Multi-tenancy
Provide unified authentication with fine-grained roles and three-tier authorization system, and support AD/LDAP authentication.๐ง GPU Workloads Scheduling and Monitoring
Create GPU workloads on the GUI, schedule GPU resources, and manage GPU resource quotas by tenant.KubeSphere uses a loosely-coupled architecture that separates the frontend from the backend. External systems can access the components of the backend through the REST APIs.

KubeSphere can run anywhere from on-premise datacenter to any cloud to edge. In addition, it can be deployed on any version-compatible Kubernetes cluster. The installer will start a minimal installation by default, you can enable other pluggable components before or after installation.
Ensure that your cluster has installed Kubernetes v1.21.x, v1.22.x, v1.23.x, * v1.24.x, * v1.25.x, or * v1.26.x. For Kubernetes versions with an asterisk, some features may be unavailable due to incompatibility.
Run the following commands to install KubeSphere on an existing Kubernetes cluster:
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubesphere/ks-installer/releases/download/v3.4.0/kubesphere-installer.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubesphere/ks-installer/releases/download/v3.4.0/cluster-configuration.yaml๐จโ๐ป No Kubernetes? You can use KubeKey to install both KubeSphere and Kubernetes/K3s in single-node mode on your Linux machine. Let's take K3s as an example:
# Download KubeKey
curl -sfL https://get-kk.kubesphere.io | VERSION=v3.0.10 sh -
# Make kk executable
chmod +x kk
# Create a cluster
./kk create cluster --with-kubernetes v1.24.14 --container-manager containerd --with-kubesphere v3.4.0You can run the following command to view the installation logs. After KubeSphere is successfully installed, you can
access the KubeSphere web console at http://IP:30880 and log in using the default administrator account (
admin/P@88w0rd).
kubectl logs -n kubesphere-system $(kubectl get pod -n kubesphere-system -l 'app in (ks-install, ks-installer)' -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') -fKubeSphere is hosted on the following cloud providers, and you can try KubeSphere by one-click installation on their hosted Kubernetes services.
- KubeSphere for Amazon EKS
- KubeSphere for Azure AKS
- KubeSphere for DigitalOcean Kubernetes
- KubeSphere on QingCloud AppCenter(QKE)
You can also install KubeSphere on other hosted Kubernetes services within minutes, see the step-by-step guides to get started.
