KubeIaaS - Private IaaS Cloud Solution based on Kubernetes.

中文文档

Developed by "free4inno".

⭐ Introduction

KubeIaaS is a feature-rich and user-friendly private IaaS cloud solution based on Kubernetes. It is designed to leverage the powerful capabilities of Kubernetes and extend its application scope from the container cloud domain to the IaaS cloud domain, thereby enhancing the flexibility and scalability of IT infrastructure based on Kubernetes.

Why Choose KubeIaaS ？

• Compared to native Kubernetes, introducing KubeIaaS into Kubernetes enables it to provide both container cloud and IaaS cloud capabilities simultaneously, greatly improving the flexibility and scalability of supported IT infrastructure.

• Compared to other IaaS cloud platforms such as OpenStack and CloudStack, KubeIaaS utilizes Kubernetes to deploy and manage its various components, making deployment and operations more lightweight and convenient.

• Compared to other Kubernetes virtual machine resource extension components such as Kubevirt and Virtlet, KubeIaaS offers a more comprehensive set of IaaS cloud control capabilities, including cloud instances, cloud disks, and cloud images, along with a user-friendly web management interface.

💡 Key Features

• Easy Deployment

KubeIaaS simplifies the complex deployment process by using YAML resource manifests to orchestrate containerized components within Kubernetes, eliminating the need for repetitive tasks. Detailed deployment guides are provided to adapt to different scenarios such as "bare-metal clusters" and "exist Kubernetes clusters".

• Simplified Maintenance

KubeIaaS leverages Kubernetes' resource scheduling capabilities and cloud-native operations suites such as Prometheus and Loki to significantly reduce system maintenance costs. Users can easily access the running status of system components, monitor the running status of host machines and virtual machines, and understand the usage status of system resources.

• Comprehensive Functionality

As a comprehensive private IaaS cloud solution, KubeIaaS offers an intuitive and user-friendly web management interface that enables users to easily create, configure, and manage various cloud resources such as virtual machines, cloud disks, and cloud images, significantly improving the efficiency and convenience of cloud infrastructure management.

• Rich Resources

Users can easily download and manage the images required for virtual machines in the cluster through KubeIaaS's official or self-built cloud image center.

🚀 Quick Start

• Deploy on Bare Metal link

• Deploy on Ubuntu without Kubernetes link

• Deploy on Ubuntu with Kubernetes link

• Deploy on other OS link

🎞️ Showcase

Below are screenshots of the system interface:

Home Page: Displays various data such as resource usage and cluster status metrics through dashboard cards.

System Management: Monitor system operation status and resource usage, and configure and manage the system.

Cloud VM List: Manage all cloud VM resources in the system, displaying information such as name, status, operating system, and configuration.

Cloud VM Details: Display various parameters of the cloud VM such as computing, network, storage, etc., and provide cloud VM control functions.

Cloud Disk List: Uniformly manage cloud disk resources in the system, display information such as name and description, mount information, storage capacity, etc.

Cloud Image List: Unified management of cloud image resources within the system, displaying information such as name, description, system type, and image parameters.

📖 Architecture

The design and implementation of KubeIaaS adhere to the following principles:

Integrated scheduling capability, Integrated operations capability

KubeIaaS fully utilizes the resource scheduling capabilities of Kubernetes and cloud-native operation and maintenance components such as Prometheus and Loki, realizing the integration of resource scheduling and platform operation and maintenance between container environments and IaaS cloud environments.

Modularized control capabilities, Containerized component deployment

KubeIaaS encapsulates IaaS cloud control capabilities into a series of cloud-native application components that can be deployed on top of Kubernetes, making it very convenient to deploy and maintain KubeIaaS using Kubernetes' application management capabilities.
