Project Description

The Cluster API "infrastructure provider" for Harvester, also named CAPHV, makes it possible to use Harvester with Cluster API. This enables people and organisations to create Kubernetes clusters running on VMs created by Harvester using a declarative spec.

The project has been bootstrapped in HackWeek 23, and its code is available here.

Work done in HackWeek 2023

  • Have a early working version of the provider available on Rancher Sandbox : *DONE *
  • Demonstrated the created cluster can be imported using Rancher Turtles: DONE
  • Stretch goal - demonstrate using the new provider with CAPRKE2: DONE and the templates are available on the repo

Goals for HackWeek 2024

  • Add support for ClusterClass
  • Add e2e testing
  • Add more Unit Tests
  • Improve Status Conditions to reflect current state of Infrastructure
  • Improve CI (some bugs for release creation)
  • Testing with newer Harvester version (v1.3.X and v1.4.X)
  • Due to the length and complexity of the templates, maybe package some of them as Helm Charts.
  • Other improvement suggestions are welcome!

DONE in HackWeek 24:

Thanks to @isim and Dominic Giebert for their contributions!

      I have a reasonable level of experience with Harvester, and limited experience with CAPI. Looking forward to learning more, and hopefully adding some value! add-emoji
