Autocloud: GitOps Kubernetes Bootstrapper

Welcome to Autocloud!

This repository contains the components allowing you to get a GitOps managed Kubernetes cluster ready in minutes.

With a simple and elegant solution for the GitOps "Chicken and egg" problem, it eases the bootstrapping of a Kubernetes environment.

To developers, Autocloud provides a development environment very close to production.

For Devops and SREs, Autocloud is a blueprint that can be used as a base to setup a GitOps based engineering platform.

Features

• Kubernetes distribution and Clouder independent.
• GitOps through ArgoCD.
• Auto-managed. Once deployed, the base components are managed through GitOps.
• No custom CLI or configuration. Use only the tools that you already use.
• You can deploy it on your development laptop, on a managed cluster or on a cloud VM.
• User management through GitHub or any other OIDC source.
• Secrets management via SOPS.
• Simple architecture allowing components to be easily deactivated or replaced.
• Ingress (Traefik) and Load Balancing provided.
• Getting the best of Kustomize and Helm (and even Helmfile).
• Your development machine can receive webhooks.

Argo CD Autopilot deploys an Argo CD installation and creates the application allowing to auto-manage the installation through a GitHub repository. However, it relies on a CLI that adds a tool in your bag and doesn't provide solutions for ingress, authentication, ...

Kubefirst also comes with a CLI. For local development, it's tied with K3d, that means to K3s and docker. It's currently only compatible with AWS. It also makes some other opinionated choices (Vault, ...). As with Autopilot, the bootstrapping is not GitOps. It's handled by the CLI and You don't get to review first what is going to happen.
