Embedded Cluster platform

This repository houses a cluster installation prototype that utilizes the k0s platform. It showcases an alternative approach to deploying clusters and serves as a starting point for further exploration and advancement. In Embedded Cluster, all components and functionalities are consolidated into a single binary, this binary facilitates a streamlined cluster installation process, removing the need for external dependencies (rpms, debs, etc).

Embedded Cluster includes by default the Kots Admin Console and the OpenEBS Storage provisioner.

Building and running

With the repository checked out locally, to compile you just need to run:

$ make embedded-cluster

The binary will be located on output/bin/embedded-cluster.

Single node deployment

To create a single node deployment you can upload the Embedded Cluster binary to a Linux x86_64 machine and run:

$ ./embedded-cluster install

Interacting with the cluster

Once the cluster has been deployed you can open a new terminal to interact with it using kubectl:

$ ./embedded-cluster shell

This will drop you in a new shell, this shell is configured to reach the cluster and includes shell completion:

ubuntu@ip-172-16-10-242:~$ ./embedded-cluster shell

    __4___

<'\ /_/_/_/   This terminal is now configured to access your cluster.
 ((____!___/) Type 'exit' (or CTRL+d) to exit.
