About

kubicorn is a free and open source project that solves the Kubernetes infrastructure problem and gives users a rich golang library to work with infrastructure.

kubicorn is a project that helps a user manage cloud infrastructure for Kubernetes. With kubicorn a user can declaratively create new clusters, modify and scale them.

NOTE: This is a work-in-progress, we do not consider it production ready. Use at your own risk and if you're as excited about it as we are, maybe you want to join us on the #kubicorn channel in the Kubernetes Slack community.

Previously, we mainly used a channel in the Gophers Slack community, which is still active, but we're moving to the Kubernetes Slack. You can also get involved and send your questions to our public mailing list.

We hold developer calls biweekly on Tuesdays, 1pm Pacific Time. By joining the mailing list, you'll get a calendar invite.

Proudly packaged with Golang dep

Core Values

Community first.

This is a community driven project. We love you, and respect you. We are here to help you learn, help you grow, and help you succeed. If you have an idea, please share it.

Developer empathy.

We are all software engineers, and we all work in many different code bases. We want the code to be stable, and approachable. We strive for clean and simple software, and we encourage refactoring and fixing technical debt.

Operational empathy.

We want our tool to work, and work well. If an operator is running kubicorn it should feel comfortable and make sense to them. We want operators to feel empowered.

Infrastructure as software.

We believe that the oh-so important layer of infrastructure should be represented as software (not as code!). We hope that our project demonstrates this idea, so the community can begin thinking in the way of the new paradigm.

Rainbows and Unicorns

We believe that sharing is important, and encouraging our peers is even more important. Part of contributing to kubicorn means respecting, encouraging, and welcoming others to the project.

Concepts

Create

kubicorn lets a user create a Kubernetes cluster in a cloud of their choice.

Apply

Define what you want, then apply it. That simple.

Scale

kubicorn is powered by a state enforcement pattern. A user defines the intended state of Kubernetes infrastructure, and kubicorn can enforce the intended state.

Enforce

kubicorn is built as a library and a framework. Thus allowing it to be easily vendored into operator and controller patterns to enforce intended state of infrastructure.
