barekube
Bare-metal On-premises Kubernetes for Linux Admins
Optimistic Design Goals:
- Maintain a single Base Linux Image on control plane
- No VM or Host OS to be managed per node: no pain of managing OS or Software stacks on Nodes
- Automatically grow your cloud with a SDS (Software Defined Storage). Zero configuration required.
- Automated provisioning of Nodes
- Network booting: Centrally control boot process on nodes
- Automated disk partitioning of nodes: No manual preparation per node required, use a template
- Automated inclusion to SDS (Software Defined Storage): Automagically scale-up your cloud overnight
- Automatically create a minimalistic configuration from Template for Nodes which will be used upon boot
- Automatically join Node to the cloud: Automagically scale-up your cloud overnight
- No knowledge of Kubernetes is required: Linux admin required only
- Deploy services as if it was a single Linux machine
- Logically manage your cloud's Physical Resources (CPU/Memory/Storage) and services from control plane.
- No Dockerfile, no docker image required since you can manage most of the software stacks in the Base Linux image. Manage your Cloud Software stack like you would manage in a single Linux box.
- Since the whole cloud appears to you as single Linux OS (as all nodes running same OS image), management becomes easy.
