Description: Open Source Software Engineering
There are a number of great open source tools for bare metal host provisioning, including Ironic . Metal³ aims to build on these technologies to provide a Kubernetes native API for managing bare metal hosts via a provisioning stack that is also running on Kubernetes. We believe that Kubernetes Native Infrastructure, or managing your infrastructure just like your applications, is a powerful next step in the evolution of infrastructure management.
The Metal³ project is also building integration with the Kubernetes cluster-api project, allowing Metal³ to be used as an infrastructure backend for Machine objects from the Cluster API.
There is a Metal³ overview and some more detailed design documents in the metal3-docs repository.
