Kubernetes Cluster API

Kubernetes Cluster API (CAPI) is a Kubernetes sub-project focused on providing declarative APIs and tooling to simplify provisioning, upgrading, and operating multiple Kubernetes clusters.

Overview

Started by SIG Cluster Lifecycle, Cluster API uses Kubernetes-style APIs and patterns to automate cluster lifecycle management. The infrastructure (VMs, networks, load balancers, VPCs) and Kubernetes configuration are defined declaratively, enabling consistent and repeatable cluster deployments across environments.

Why Cluster API?

While kubeadm reduces installation complexity, it doesn't address day-to-day cluster management:

  • How to consistently provision infrastructure across providers and locations?
  • How to automate cluster lifecycle (upgrades, deletion)?
  • How to scale processes to manage any number of clusters?

Cluster API addresses these gaps with declarative, Kubernetes-style APIs that automate cluster creation, configuration, and management.
