Spread is a Go command-line tool that deploys Docker containers to Kubernetes in one command and versions Kubernetes clusters like Git versions source code. It also helps set up local Kubernetes clusters via its localkube component.

Use cases

• deploy docker containers to kubernetes in one command
• version control a kubernetes cluster like git
• set up a local kubernetes cluster for development
• make kubernetes deployments reproducible
• collaborative deployment workflow for a team

When to choose

• you want the simplest possible path from Docker image to a running Kubernetes deployment
• you need to track and reproduce cluster state in version control
• you want a lightweight local Kubernetes setup for development

When to avoid

• you need a maintained tool - the project has had no releases since late 2017 and appears abandoned
• you need modern Kubernetes features or current API support
• you prefer actively maintained alternatives like kubectl, Helm, or Skaffold
