Layer5 is the umbrella repository and website for Layer5's cloud native infrastructure management projects, most notably Meshery (a CNCF collaborative Kubernetes and cloud native management plane) and Kanvas (a visual, drag-and-drop designer and operator for cloud native infrastructure). The repository itself hosts the Gatsby-based layer5.io website and community resources.
Use cases
- manage kubernetes clusters visually without yaml
- design and deploy cloud native infrastructure by drag-and-drop diagram
- collaboratively review infrastructure designs with my team
- discover and visualize existing kubernetes deployments
- run performance tests against my service mesh
- learn kubernetes and cloud native patterns in a sandbox playground
- adopt gitops with visual infrastructure designs
When to choose
- you want a visual, collaborative management plane for Kubernetes and multi-cloud infrastructure
- you prefer designing and deploying workloads via diagrams instead of hand-written YAML
- you need infrastructure discovery, visualization, and best-practice analysis for cloud native deployments
- you want an open source, CNCF-governed, extensible platform with REST/GraphQL APIs
When to avoid
- you need a lightweight single-purpose CLI with no web UI
- you are not working with Kubernetes or cloud native infrastructure
- you require fully offline operation without any browser-based collaboration
- you want a minimal tool with a small dependency footprint
