Orchestration Management Scheduling Orchestration

graduated

Crossplane is the cloud native control plane framework that allows you to build control planes without needing to write code. Crossplane has a highly extensible backend that enables you to orchestrate applications and infrastructure no matter where they run and a highly configurable frontend that lets you define the declarative API it offers.

sandbox

Capsule implements a multi-tenant and policy-based environment in your Kubernetes cluster. It is designed as a micro-services-based ecosystem with the minimalist approach, leveraging only on upstream Kubernetes.

sandbox

Clusterpedia is used for complex resources search across multiple clusters, support simultaneous search of a single kind of resource or multiple kinds of resources existing in multiple clusters.

sandbox

Enables dynamic device scaling using Composable Hardware Disaggregated Infrastructure (CoHDI). CoHDI is a community-driven, standards-based open ecosystem for next-generation architectures and frameworks built on Composable Hardware Disaggregated Infrastructure. The objective is to bridge the gap between Kubernetes and CoHDI by collaborating with the Dynamic Resource Allocation, Autoscaler, and Scheduler projects. This enables data center operators to realize the benefits of cost efficiency, high availability, and sustainability through a disaggregated computing system.

Cartography is a Python tool that consolidates infrastructure assets and the relationships between them in an intuitive graph view.

sandbox

Cedar is an open source authorization policy language that enables developers to express fine-grained permissions as easy-to-understand policies enforced in their applications, and decouple access control from application logic. Cedar is designed to be ergonomic, fast, safe, and analyzable using automated reasoning. Cedar's simple and intuitive syntax supports common authorization use-cases with readable policies, naturally expressing concepts from role-based, attribute-based, and relation-based access control models. Cedar's policy structure enables authorization requests to be decided quickly. Its policy validator uses optional typing to help policy writers avoid mistakes, but not get in their way. Cedar's design has been finely balanced to allow for a sound, complete, and decidable logical encoding, which enables precise automated analysis of Cedar policies, e.g., to ensure that policy refactoring preserves existing permissions. Cedar's language specification has been formally verified using a theorem prover to satisfy key security properties like "deny trumps allow," and its implementation in Rust undergoes rigorous differential random testing against its formal specification. By combining mathematical rigor with developer-friendly design, Cedar offers a practical approach to secure, maintainable authorization for modern applications.

Checkov scans cloud infrastructure configurations to find misconfigurations before they are deployed. Checkov manages and analyzes infrastructure as code (IaC) scan results across platforms such as Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, Helm, ARM Templates and Serverless framework.
