Kubernetes Cluster API Provider DigitalOcean
Kubernetes-native declarative infrastructure for DigitalOcean.
What is the Cluster API Provider DigitalOcean
The Cluster API brings declarative, Kubernetes-style APIs to cluster creation, configuration and management.
The API itself is shared across multiple cloud providers allowing for true DigitalOcean hybrid deployments of Kubernetes. It is built atop the lessons learned from previous cluster managers such as kops and kubicorn.
