Portal:Kubic

Welcome to the Kubic Portal

openSUSE Kubic is a project maintaining multiple container-related technologies as part of the openSUSE Project.

This primarily centers around openSUSE Kubic, an openSUSE Tumbleweed variant focused on hosting container services. openSUSE Kubic currently consists of two major components:

• openSUSE MicroOS - an openSUSE Tumbleweed based OS providing Transactional (Atomic) Updates upon a read-only btrfs root filesystem, designed to host container workloads with automated administration & patching.
• kubeadm - a Kubernetes cluster bootstrapping tool integrated as part of openSUSE Kubic to run atop openSUSE MicroOS.

The source code for much of our Kubic related tooling can be found in our GitHub Project.
