Secure and efficient installation with KubeOps KOSI
The Kubernetes Software Installer KubeOps KOSI is designed to simplify the installation of packages and programs in Kubernetes clusters.
One notable feature: KubeOps KOSI is optimized for BSI-tested environments. Therefore it adheres to strict security standards and ensures a safe and secure installation process.
KubeOps KOSI has a batch engine and a “flow logic” that can be extended by plugins. This enhances the functionality and an easy use.
KubeOps KOSI can package everything into a self-sufficient package, which can then be transported in any complex and secure environment. This package is immutable and ensures that your packages remain secure and stable.
KubeOps HUB is a collection of self-sufficient Kubernetes packages which no longer have to be laboriously searched for and checked.
Your attack surface can be reduced to a minimum if you use KubeOps HUB as your only access point to your cluster.
You need KubeOps KOSI our package manager and command line interface to KubeOps HUB to get the best and easiest universal solution for your software management.
Software Deployment
For software-manufacturers KOSI offers the possibility to release their Kubernetes software as a single self-sufficient deployment file.
To do so, the manifacturer packages all needed deployment artefacts via
kosi buildVia
kosi pushthe packages gets uploaded to the KubeOps HUB giving either access only to the specific customer or even to the whole community if desired.
This simplifies the download process for the clients, as they just need to run a
kosi installto install the packages into their cluster, even behind a proxy (Airgap).
Helm Deployment
For customers planning to deploy a Helmchart KubeOps KOSI gives support at downloading and packaging all needed container images and artefacts into a single, self-sufficient package with
kosi buildBy publishing via
kosi push the package can be downloaded from KubeOps HUB as a single installation fine.
All relevant dependencies are managed by KOSI insuring installation.
Therefore, installing software with KOSI into your cluster simplifies, secures and eases the process of software deployments into your environments.
Deployment without KOSI
Problems:
-
Manual Processing
-
Effort Intensive
-
Vulnerable
-
Not reproducable
The classic way of software delivery in the cloud cosmos is using helm-charts and container images.
Requiering software manufactureres to publish the helm-chart, uploadcontainer images into a public registry and provide their customers with a list of all requiered artefacts.
Customers then have to pull these images, configure the helm-chart according to the environment specific settings, check all checksums etc. this often even gets more complex in productive environments. As these tend to have an outgoing proxy preventing broad access to the internet.
