CosmoPilot

Cosmopilot is a Kubernetes operator designed to simplify the deployment and management of Cosmos-based blockchain nodes. It automates tasks like node deployment, upgrades, disk-resize, api exposure, backup (with data integrity validation), ensuring a seamless experience for blockchain operators.

Key Features

• Node Deployment:

  • Deploy nodes based on CRDs: ChainNode (single node) and ChainNodeSet (group of nodes).
  • Automatically peers nodes from the same network if they are on the same namespace.
  • Automatically generates consensus keys and account private keys when needed, and keeps them in secrets.

• Persistent Volume Management:

  • Creates (or imports) and manages Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs) for node data.
  • Automatically increases PVC size when usage exceeds a configurable threshold.

• API Endpoints Exposure:

  • Integrates with NGINX and cert-manager to optionally expose API endpoints publicly (RPC, LCD, gRPC and EVM).
  • Integrates with cosmoguard for fine-grained control over API access and caching.

• Backup and Snapshot Management:

  • Configurable snapshot frequency and retention policies (with optional node shutdown during snapshot creation).
  • Export snapshots to Google Cloud Storage (GCS) as tarball files.
  • Verifies snapshot integrity.

• Genesis Management:

  • Retrieve genesis from a URL, ConfigMap, RPC endpoint, or generate a new one (useful for launching testnets).

• State-Sync Automation:

  • Automatically configures state-sync between nodes.
  • Simplifies restoring nodes from state-sync snapshots.

• TMKMS Integration:

  • Securely manages private keys using TMKMS.
  • Supports HashiCorp Vault as the key provider.

• Governance Upgrade Automation:

  • Monitors for governance upgrades with detailed Docker image info.
  • Automatically upgrades nodes without manual intervention.
  • Manual upgrades are also schedulable.
