ironik

Warning

This tool is still in early development and only the core features are available.

Features

• Utilize OpenStack and Rancher APIs to automatically deploy Kubernetes cluster

• Customize the configuration using templates

• Install new Kubernetes versions including deploying the external cloud controller manager for OpenStack

Installation

You can install ironik via pip from PyPI:

$ pip install ironik

Alternatively, ironik can also be used as a container to avoid installing it:

$ docker run --rm -ti -v $(pwd):/app docker.gitlab.gwdg.de/jonathan.decker1/ironik/cli:latest ironik --help

This can be abbreviated using an alias:

$ alias dironik='docker run --rm -ti -v $(pwd):/app docker.gitlab.gwdg.de/jonathan.decker1/ironik/cli:latest ironik'
$ dironik --help

Usage

Please see the Usage Instructions for details.

Kubernetes can also be deployed manually on OpenStack and Rancher. See the Manual Deployment Instructions for a full guide.
