ClusterAPI has emerged as a powerful solution for programmatically creating, upgrading, and deleting clusters on demand.One of the key challenges in managing Kubernetes clusters is the installation and upgrading of Cluster add-ons and applications. This can be a time-consuming and complex process, especially for organizations that manage a large number of clusters. Existing solutions for automating cluster add-ons often require a significant degree of user interaction.Projectsveltos is a set of Kubernetes controllers that takes a more intelligent approach to cluster add-on management.It is able to automatically identify clusters, comprehend their current state, and install and upgrade add-ons with minimal user interaction. It offers support for Helm charts, raw YAMLs, and Kustomize or any combination of those.Add-ons and applications can be expressed as templates. At deployment time, Projectsveltos will instantiate the templates, using information gathered by fetching resources from the management cluster or the managed clusters. This allows to customize the deployment of add-ons and applications based on the specific needs of each cluster. For example, deploy an add-on with different configuration options depending on the cluster.Projectsveltos templates can also be used to coordinate with other open source projects. For example, Projectsveltos can coordinate with Crossplane to create a Google Cloud Storage bucket for each managed cluster and then deploy an application in each managed cluster that uploads a file to the proper bucket.Projectsveltos can be instructed to classify clusters based on their run-time state and update deployed add-ons and application as run-time state changes.In this example, when a cluster is upgraded, Projectsveltos automatically upgrades add-ons and applications deployed in such cluster.Projectsveltos is a powerful and flexible tool for managing Kubernetes cluster add-ons and applications:If you enjoyed this article, please check out the Sveltos GitHub repo.The GitHub repo is a great resource for getting started with Sveltos.
