Introduction

OpenKruise (official site: https://openkruise.io) is now hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as a Sandbox Level Project. It consists of several controllers which extend and complement the Kubernetes core controllers for workload and application management.

Key Features

• Typical Workloads

  Typical Workloads can help you manage applications of stateless, stateful and daemon.

  They all support not only the basic features which are similar to the original Workloads in Kubernetes, but also more advanced abilities like in-place update, configurable scale/upgrade strategies, parallel operations.

  • CloneSet for stateless applications
  • Advanced StatefulSet for stateful applications
  • Advanced DaemonSet for daemon applications

• Job Workloads

  • BroadcastJob for deploying jobs over specific nodes
  • AdvancedCronJob for creating Job or BroadcastJob periodically

• Sidecar container Management

  The Sidecar containers can be simply defined in the SidecarSet custom resource and Kruise will inject them into all Pods matched.

  The implementation is done by using Kubernetes mutating webhooks, similar to what istio does. However, it allows you to explicitly manage your own sidecars.

  • SidecarSet for defining and upgrading your own sidecars

• Multi-domain Management

  This can help you manage applications over nodes with multiple domains, such as different node pools, available zones, architectures(x86 & arm) or node types(kubelet & virtual kubelet).

  Here we provide two different ways:

  • WorkloadSpread for bypass distributing pods in workloads
  • UnitedDeployment, a new workload to manage multiple sub-workloads

• Enhanced Operations

  • Restart containers in a running pod
  • Download images on specific nodes

• Application Protection

  • Protect Kubernetes resources and applications' availability from the cascading deletion
  • PodUnavailableBudget for achieving the effect of preventing application disruption or SLA degradation
