About:
Kops, short for Kubernetes Operations, is a command-line tool designed to automate the provisioning and management of production-grade Kubernetes clusters. It simplifies the process of creating, upgrading, and operating highly available Kubernetes clusters on major cloud platforms. The tool provides robust support for managing cluster state, rolling updates, and infrastructure scaling.
Key Features:
  • Automated cluster provisioning on AWS, GCE, and Azure
  • Declarative configuration management for cluster state
  • Built-in support for high availability control planes
  • Seamless in-place cluster upgrades and rollbacks
Use Cases:
  • Deploying production-ready Kubernetes clusters in the cloud
  • Managing the lifecycle of existing Kubernetes clusters
  • Automating cluster configuration and infrastructure as code
Alternatives:
  • kubeadm – Kubeadm is a lower-level tool for bootstrapping clusters, whereas kops manages the full lifecycle including cloud infrastructure.
  • EKS/GKE/AKS – Managed Kubernetes services abstract away the control plane, while kops gives you full control over the master nodes and configuration.
