Gardener
Kubernetes-native system managing the full lifecycle of Kubernetes
Kubernetes-native system managing the full lifecycle of conformant Kubernetes clusters as a service on Alicloud, AWS, Azure, GCP, OpenStack, EquinixMetal, vSphere, MetalStack, and Kubevirt with minimal TCO. Kubernetes is a cloud-native enabler built around the principles of a resilient, manageable, observable, highly automated, loosely coupled system. Gardener is a standard Kubernetes extension and adheres to the same concepts by design. The Gardener project is committed to fostering an open community of collaborators and adopters. We aim to deliver a standard solution that meets the needs of our entire community and ecosystem. Gardener was born as a solution for actual and common problems such as control on the Kubernetes stack, minimizing the TCO, infrastructures pervasiveness, operating in restricted/regulated environments or bare metal, at a massive scale.
