Podplane: Kubernetes Distribution & PaaS
Podplane is an Open Source Kubernetes distribution & PaaS you can deploy in a few minutes to your AWS, Google Cloud, or Proxmox VE environment.
Want an easy-to-use container platform, without vendor lock-in? Use Podplane to:
-
Save Time: Deploy everything you need for a container platform in minutes.
-
Lower Costs: Use battle-tested infrastructure primitives like VMs, not overpriced managed services.
-
Be In Control: Podplane is Apache 2.0 licensed, and only uses components with OSI-approved licenses.
The goal is to combine infrastructure and security best practices with an intuitive developer experience, to enable a platform which scales from hobby projects to enterprise production systems.
How It Works
Using the Podplane CLI, you can deploy a Podplane cluster in a few minutes.
Every cluster includes CoreDNS and Cilium CNI out of the box, and you can install addon components like Traefik ingress controller or CSI drivers, either at cluster creation or later with podplane install.
Some CLI commands (like podplane deploy) require specific components and will guide you to install them if needed.
Deploying a cluster first generates versionable infrastructure-as-code artifacts such as OpenTofu/Terraform .tf files for AWS & Google Cloud, which then deploys a cluster into your public or private cloud of choice.
Components
Podplane is easy to use and operate because of three sibling projects which form a new type of Kubernetes-based container platform:
- Cluster state is stored in object storage via Netsy, not etcd.
- Auto-scaling & provisioning is faster with Nstance.
- OIDC & RBAC is simplified with Easy OIDC.
Podplane, Netsy, Nstance, and Easy OIDC are Open Source projects created by Nadrama.
