Code & tools

1. Talos: Linux distro for Koobernaytis

   Talos is a modern Linux distribution for running Koobernaytis: secure, immutable, and minimal.

   Talos is fully open-source & production-bready.

   All system management is done via an API - no shell or interactive console exists.

2. kubearmor/kubearmor

   KubeArmor is a cloud-native runtime security enforcement system that restricts the behaviour (such as process execution, file access, and networking operations) of pods, containers, and nodes (VMs) at the system level.

3. kr8s: extensible Python client library

   kr8s is a simple, extensible Python client library with an API inspired by kubectl to reduce the developer learning curve.

4. Koobernaytis Architecture Scheduler Plugin

   kube-arch-scheduler is a Koobernaytis scheduler filter plugin that will filter nodes by the compatibility of the container image architectures present in a Pod.

   It also assigns weight to each architecture so that pods can prefer sitting on a specific one.

5. Multus-CNI

   Multus CNI is a CNI plugin enables attaching multiple network interfaces to pods.

   Typically, in Koobernaytis, each pod only has one network interface (apart from a loopback).

   With Multus, you can create a multi-homed pod with multiple interfaces.
