Kubernetes Operations (kops)

Build Status Go Report Card GoDoc Widget

The easiest way to get a production grade Kubernetes cluster up and running.

What is kops?

We like to think of it as kubectl for clusters.

kops lets you deploy grade Kubernetes clusters from the command line, with options that support HA Masters. Kubernetes Operations supports deploying Kubernetes on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and support for more platforms is planned.

Launching a Kubernetes cluster hosted on AWS

Check out our tutorial for launching a Kubernetes cluster hosted on AWS.

Features

  • Automated Kubernetes cluster CRUD for (AWS)
  • Highly Available (HA) Kubernetes Masters Setup
  • Uses a state-sync model for dry-run and automatic idempotency
  • Custom support for kubectl add-ons
  • Kops can generate Terraform configuration
  • Based on a simple meta-model defined in a directory tree
  • Command line autocomplete
  • Community support
  • Upgrade from kube-up

Installing

kubectl is required, see here.

Getting involved!

Want to contribute to kops? We would love the extra help from the community. We have a quickstart guide on adding a feature.

Kops also has time set aside every other week to offer help and guidance to the community. Kops maintainers have agreed to set aside time specifically dedicated to working with newcomers, helping with PRs, and discussing new features.

We recommend letting us know beforehand if you plan on attending so we can have time to prepare for the call.
