Rio is an application deployment engine for Kubernetes that layers custom resources and a CLI on top of any standard cluster to provide continuous delivery, DNS, HTTPS, routing, autoscaling, and canary deployments. The project is currently on hold and its repository has been archived.
Use cases
- deploy services to kubernetes with a simple cli
- set up continuous delivery on a kubernetes cluster
- canary deployments and autoscaling for kubernetes services
- git-triggered builds and automatic dns/https for apps
- simplify kubernetes app deployment without writing manifests
When to choose
- you want a simple PaaS-like experience on any standard Kubernetes cluster
- you need built-in routing, DNS, HTTPS, and canary deployments out of the box
- you prefer a CLI-driven workflow over writing Kubernetes YAML
When to avoid
- the project is archived and on hold - no active maintenance or support
- you need a production-supported or actively developed deployment tool
- you want fine-grained control over native Kubernetes resources
- your cluster runs Kubernetes versions far newer than what Rio was tested against
