## What it is
Rudr was a Kubernetes implementation of the Open Application Model (OAM) specification, written in Rust, for defining cloud-native applications in an app-centric, portable way. It is deprecated and no longer maintained; its successor is the KubeVela project.

## Use cases
- deploy applications on kubernetes using the open application model
- define cloud native apps with a portable app-centric specification
- model application deployment across hybrid and multi-cloud environments
- separate application definition from infrastructure details on k8s
- evaluate OAM-based application platforms for kubernetes

## When to choose
- you are researching the history of the OAM specification and its first Kubernetes implementation
- you need to reference the original Rust implementation when migrating to KubeVela

## When to avoid
- you want to actually deploy OAM applications today - use KubeVela instead
- you need a maintained, supported tool for application delivery on Kubernetes
- you are starting a new cloud-native application platform project

## Facets
