Kubernetes Fury Distribution
Kubernetes Fury Distribution (KFD) is a certified battle-tested Kubernetes distribution based purely on upstream Kubernetes.
Overview
Kubernetes Fury Distribution (KFD) is a CNCF certified battle-tested Kubernetes distribution based purely on upstream Kubernetes.
It is developed and maintained by SIGHUP and the community, and it is fully open source.
🎯 The goal of Fury is to turn any standard Kubernetes cluster into a fully-configured production-grade cluster.
Un-distribution model
KFD uses an un-distribution model. This means that we:
- Rely only on open source solutions.
- Are free from vendor lock-in.
- Stay close to upstream Kubernetes and the cloud native landscape.
- Choose and configure a set of battle-tested open source tools.
Architecture
Kubernetes Fury Distribution is structured on modules, and each module has a set of packages.
- A package is a single unit of functionality.
- A module groups together packages that are functionally related.
All modules are open source, widely used, easily customizable, and pre-configured with sane defaults.
The standard way to deploy KFD is to:
- Deploy all the Core Modules of the distribution
- Deploy (if needed) any of the Addon modules
