About:
KubeKey is a comprehensive command-line tool designed to automate the installation and management of Kubernetes clusters and KubeSphere distributions. It streamlines the deployment process, making it significantly faster and less error-prone compared to manual setups. The tool also supports the lifecycle management of cluster nodes and the installation of various cloud-native add-ons.
Key Features:
  • Automated installation of Kubernetes and KubeSphere
  • Support for high-availability (HA) cluster setups
  • Cluster scaling (add/remove nodes) and upgrades
  • Air-gapped installation support for offline environments
Use Cases:
  • Setting up production-ready Kubernetes clusters on bare metal or cloud VMs
  • Deploying the KubeSphere container platform for a unified management experience

Alternatives:
  • kubeadm – The standard Kubernetes tool, but requires more manual configuration steps than KubeKey.
  • k3s – A lightweight Kubernetes distribution, whereas KubeKey is a tool to install various Kubernetes distributions including K3s and K8s.
