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.
Proudly packaged with Golang dep

- 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
kubicorn lets 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 pattern.
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 intended 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 intended state of infrastructure.
