Kubicorn is a free and open source Go project for creating, managing, snapshotting, and scaling Kubernetes cluster infrastructure in the public cloud. It offers both a CLI and a rich Go library for declaratively defining and reconciling cluster infrastructure.

Use cases

• provision a kubernetes cluster on aws or other public clouds
• declaratively manage kubernetes infrastructure as software
• scale an existing kubernetes cluster's node count
• snapshot kubernetes cluster state for reuse
• embed kubernetes cluster provisioning into a go application

When to choose

• you want a simple, library-first way to bootstrap kubernetes clusters in the cloud
• you prefer declarative infrastructure without heavyweight tooling
• you want to programmatically manage cluster lifecycle from Go

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready, actively maintained provisioner (the project is a work-in-progress and largely dormant)
• you want full cluster lifecycle management via the upstream Cluster API ecosystem
• you need managed kubernetes services rather than self-provisioned clusters
