Introduction

Robokops is an opensource product developped by Scalair that helps you to manage Kubernetes clusters and deploy common features.

With Robokops, you can easily automate:

• Creation & destruction of Kubernetes cluster
• Deployment of Prometheus Operator
• Deployment of an Elastic stack
• Deployment of an ingress
• Management of DNS
• etc...

Your clusters can either be hosted and managed by us or you can use that product to build and manage your owns.

Terraform

Robokops is managing infrastructure using Terraform wrapped by Terragrunt. Robokops does not have its own way of creating clusters, instead its relaying on existing Terraform modules to do so. The only thing Robokops is doing here is calling the code. You can still use this product's features if you have existing clusters or if you manage them with something else than Terraform. More info in terraform.

K8s

Robokops has a set a prepacked features ready to deploy to solve common problems. Robokops abstract the complexity of deploying features by providing a common interface to manage all of them. More info in k8s.

Docker

All features deployed by Robokops are deployed using Docker containers. Containers have been chosen because they provide identical environments to run commands, such as terraform, kubectl or helm. All containers are based on the same image defined in docker.
