Typhoon is a minimal, free Kubernetes distribution delivered as Terraform modules for AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, and bare metal. It packages upstream Kubernetes with Cilium or flannel networking, on-cluster etcd with TLS, and RBAC into declarative, production-ready cluster definitions.
Use cases
- provision a kubernetes cluster on aws with terraform
- set up a bare-metal kubernetes cluster
- deploy kubernetes on google cloud with fedora coreos
- create a minimal production kubernetes cluster
- spin up a kubernetes lab cluster on digitalocean
- declaratively manage kubernetes cluster infrastructure
When to choose
- you want a minimal, opinionated upstream Kubernetes cluster provisioned via Terraform
- you need clusters on Fedora CoreOS or Flatcar Linux across cloud and bare-metal platforms
- you value free, privacy-respecting tooling with a small blessed-path feature set
When to avoid
- you need a batteries-included platform with many built-in services beyond the base cluster
- you prefer non-Terraform provisioning tools or managed Kubernetes services
- you require Azure or ARM64 support at stable maturity
