kubesphere

KubeSphere is a container platform built on top of Kubernetes, which itself is the popular system for running and coordinating large numbers of containerized applications across many servers. The team behind KubeSphere calls it a "distributed operating system for cloud-native application management," meaning it gives organizations a single place to manage their applications whether those applications run in multiple clouds, in their own data centers, or out at the edge on devices closer to where data is collected.

The platform takes Kubernetes, which is powerful but famously complex, and wraps it in a friendly web interface with wizards and dashboards. From this console, people can provision new Kubernetes clusters, manage several clusters at once across different cloud providers, run CI/CD pipelines for automated software delivery, browse and install applications from a built-in app store, monitor metrics and logs, and apply role-based access control so multiple teams can share infrastructure safely. Version 4 introduced a microkernel architecture in which the core ships with only essential functions and additional capabilities arrive as pluggable extension components, including DevOps tooling, a service mesh based on Istio, observability features, an edge computing integration through KubeEdge, and GPU workload scheduling.

KubeSphere is aimed at enterprises that have adopted or want to adopt Kubernetes but need an easier way to operate it across teams and environments. It supports online and air-gapped installations and works with various storage and networking options. The codebase is primarily written in Go. The full README is longer than what was provided.
