Cluster API provider Microvm

What is the Cluster API Provider Microvm

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

Cluster API Provider Microvm (CAPMVM) is a Cluster API Infrastructure Provider for provisioning Kubernetes clusters where the nodes (control plane & worker) are lightweight virtual machines (called microvms). The provider is designed to work with Flintlock which handles the interaction with the microvm implementation (i.e. Firecracker, Cloud Hypervisor).

CAPMVM is MPL-2.0 licensed

Features

• Native Kubernetes manifests and API.
• Manages provisioning of microvms via Flintlock.
• Supports specifying custom volume & kernel images.
• Supports specifying the specs of the microvms.
