The Cluster API Provider CloudStack Book

What is the Cluster API Provider CloudStack

The Cluster API brings declarative, Kubernetes-style APIs to cluster creation, configuration and management.

The API itself is shared across multiple cloud providers allowing for true Apache CloudStack hybrid deployments of Kubernetes. It is built atop the lessons learned from previous cluster managers such as kops and kubicorn.

Launching a Kubernetes cluster on Apache CloudStack

Check out the Getting Started Guide to create your first Kubernetes cluster on Apache CloudStack using Cluster API.

Features

• Native Kubernetes manifests and API
• Choice of Linux distribution (as long as a current cloud-init is available). Tested on Ubuntu, Centos, Rocky and RHEL
• Support for single and multi-node control plane clusters
• Deploy clusters on Isolated and Shared Networks
• cloud-init based nodes bootstrapping

Operating system images

Note: Cluster API Provider CloudStack relies on a few prerequisites which have to be already installed in the used operating system images, e.g. a container runtime, kubelet, kubeadm, etc. Reference images can be found in kubernetes-sigs/image-builder.

Prebuilt images can be found below :
