Metal³ (“Metal Cubed”) is an open-source project that makes deploying and managing Kubernetes clusters on bare metal servers a breeze with Ironic.
Get Started with Metal³Welcome to Metal³, the open-source project that brings Kubernetes and bare metal infrastructure together in perfect harmony. We're all about making your life easier, one server at a time.
Our mission? To simplify bare metal infrastructure management and make Kubernetes accessible to everyone, regardless of hardware. We're committed to offering a seamless experience with a unified API, scalability, reliability, and customization options.
Metal³ is powered by three core components:
Our project simplifies the deployment and management of Kubernetes clusters on bare metal infrastructure. By leveraging Ironic, a powerful bare metal management tool, Metal³ streamlines the process of setting up, scaling, and maintaining Kubernetes clusters on physical servers.
Learn more about how to make the most of Metal³ features in your work.
Manage your underlying infrastructure through Kubernetes APIs using the Metal³ and machine-api CRDs.
Metal³ operates directly within your Kubernetes cluster, integrating seamlessly with your existing infrastructure, eliminating the need for external dependencies.
Integration with the Machine API from SIG Cluster-Lifecycle allows your bare metal cluster to manage its own growth, just like your cloud-based clusters
