What is the Cluster API Provider Microvm

The Cluster API brings declarative, Kubernetes-style APIs to cluster creation, configuration and management.

Cluster API Provider Microvm (CAPMVM) is a Cluster API Infrastructure Provider for provisioning Kubernetes clusters where the nodes (control plane & worker) are lightweight virtual machines (called microvms). The provider is designed to work with Flintlock which handles the interaction with the microvm implementation (i.e. Firecracker, Cloud Hypervisor).

CAPMVM is MPL-2.0 licensed

Features

  • Native Kubernetes manifests and API.
  • Manages provisioning of microvms via Flintlock.
  • Supports specifying custom volume & kernel images.
  • Supports specifying the specs of the microvms.

Getting started

A getting started guide will be available soon.


Compatibility with Flintlock

When using CAPMVM as part of a Liquid Metal system, check the flintlock<->capmvm version compatibility.
