Kermoo offers resilience testing with configurable process delays, back-end failures, CPU Simulations, and memory leaks.
Kubernetes Cluster API Provider for Terraform Cloud
Cluster API brings declarative Kubernetes-style APIs to cluster creation, configuration and management.
This provider lets you create Terraform Modules to implement Cluster API's contracts and run them in Terraform Cloud to provision the infrastructure.
libvirt_autoscaler implements a gRPC server based on the externalgrpc Cloud Provider for the Kubernetes autoscaler project.
This server communicates to a libvirt/kvm installation to enable libvirt/kvm as a target for cluster autoscaling.
Burrito: Kubernetes Terraform controller
Burrito is a Kubernetes controller that makes it easy to interact and manage Terraform code via Custom Resource Definitions.
kube-fledged is an operator for creating and managing a cache of container images directly on the worker nodes of a Kubernetes cluster.
It allows a user to define a list of images and onto which worker nodes those images should be cached (i.e. pulled).
