:anchor: Awesome features

  • Simplicity: Deploying of Kubean and powerful lifecycle management of kubernetes cluster implementing by declarative API.
  • Offline Supported: Offline packages(os-pkgs, images, binarys) are released with the release. You won't have to worry about how to gather all the resources you need.
  • Compatibility: Multi-arch delivery Supporting. Such as AMD, ARM with common Linux distributions. Also include Kunpeng with Kylin.
  • Expandability: Allowing custom actions be added to cluster without any changes for Kubespray.

We created a scenario on killercoda, which is an online platform for interactive technique learning. You can try it in there.

Guided install with KubeStellar Console

KubeStellar Console offers a guided installation mission for Kubean with step-by-step instructions, pre-flight checks, validation, troubleshooting tips, and rollback support.

Local install

  1. Ensure that you have a Kubernetes cluster running, on which Helm is installed

  2. Deploy kubean-operator

    helm repo add kubean-io https://kubean-io.github.io/kubean-helm-chart/
    helm install kubean kubean-io/kubean --create-namespace -n kubean-system
    

    Then check kubean-operator status by running:

    kubectl get pods -n kubean-system
    
  3. Online deploy an all-in-one cluster with minimal configuration

    1. A simple way is to use AllInOne.yml, replacing <IP1>, <USERNAME>, and other strings with actual values.

    2. Start kubeanClusterOps to run the kubespray job.

      kubectl apply -f examples/install/1.minimal
      
    3. Check the kubespray job status.

      kubectl get job -n kubean-system
