## What it is
Kubez-ansible is an Ansible-based toolkit for quickly deploying Kubernetes clusters (single-node, multinode, or highly available) and a wide range of cloud-native applications. It automates installation of container runtimes, network and storage plugins, and add-ons like Prometheus, Grafana, Istio, and CI/CD tools.

## Use cases
- deploy a kubernetes cluster with ansible
- set up a highly available k8s cluster
- install prometheus and grafana on kubernetes
- bootstrap a kubernetes cluster offline
- deploy cloud native middleware like redis and kafka on k8s
- expand or destroy a kubernetes cluster
- quick kubernetes lab setup on rocky or ubuntu

## When to choose
- you want an ansible-playbook-driven kubernetes deployment on bare metal or VMs
- you need a one-command install of common cloud-native add-ons alongside the cluster
- you support multiple Linux distributions including openEuler and Kylin
- you want all-in-one, multinode, and HA deployment options from one tool

## When to avoid
- you need a managed kubernetes service or kubeadm-only workflow
- you prefer declarative GitOps tooling like Flux or ArgoCD for cluster provisioning
- you require a formally licensed or commercially supported distribution
- your target platform is Windows or macOS
