Create, manage, snapshot, and scale Kubernetes infrastructure in the public cloud.
kubicorn is an unofficial 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 create new clusters, modify and scale them, and take a snapshot of their cluster at any time.
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 Gophers Slack community.

I built this tool for myself, and nothing else.
I have strong opinions about software, and how infrastructure management could be handled. I believe in pulling configuration out of the library, and using a tool like this as a framework more than an actual tool. This tool is designed to give myself easy ways to manage infrastructure in the clouds I work most in.
I wanted a tool that did that, nothing existed, so I coded one.
If you don't like it, don't use it.
- We use kubeadm to bootstrap our clusters
- We strive for developer empathy, and clean and simple code
- We strive for operational empathy, and clean and simple user experience
- We start with struct literals for profiles, and then marshal into an object
- We offer the tooling as a library, more than a command line tool
- We are atomic, and will un-do any work if there is an error
- We run on many operating systems
- We allow users to define their own arbitrary bootstrap logic
- We have no guarantee that anything works, ever, use at your own risk
- We have no dependency on DNS
- We believe in snapshots, and that a user should be able to capture a cluster, and move it
We want you to break shit. Plain and simple.
This tool is allows you to define your own profiles, and define your own bootstrap logic.
Implicitly this means you can break something, and we encourage you to do that.
We offer profiles that are designed to be starting places.
Our goal is that all of our profiles work out of the box, but we never guarentee anything.
In a nutshell our philosophy is:
Breaking things is part of learning, and learning is a good thing. But if you are going to break something, at least break it reliably and in the same way every time.
kubicorn let's a user create a Kubernetes cluster in a cloud of their choice.
Define what you want, then apply it. That simple.
kubicorn can adopt any Kubernetes cluster at any time.
kubicorn is powered by a state enforcement model.
A user defines the intended state of Kubernetes infrastructure, and kubicorn can enforce the intended state.
kubicorn allows a user to take a snapshot of a Kubernetes cluster, and run the image in any cloud at any time.
A snapshot is compressed file that will represent intedend infrastructure and intended application definitions.
Take a snap, save a snap, deploy a snap.
kubicorn is built as a library and a framework. Thus allowing it to be easily vendored into operator and controller patterns to enforce indeded state of infrastructure.
