Ecosystem
OpenControlPlane is built on top of amazing open-source projects from the cloud native ecosystem. Here are the key projects that power our platform.
Kubernetes
The foundation of OpenControlPlane. We extend the Kubernetes API through Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs), enabling you to configure infrastructure, services, and applications using the same familiar API.
Crossplane
A CNCF project that orchestrates anything through Kubernetes. Enable Crossplane as a service provider to give your users access to the rich ecosystem of Crossplane providers.
Gardener
Delivers fully-managed Kubernetes clusters at scale across AWS, Azure, GCP, OpenStack, and more. Use Gardener as a cluster provider in OpenControlPlane for automated cluster management.
Flux
Continuous and progressive delivery for Kubernetes. Enable Flux to provide GitOps capabilities in your Managed Control Planes, allowing declarative infrastructure management from Git.
Kyverno
Policy-as-Code for Kubernetes and cloud native environments. Define team-internal and organization-wide policies to establish security standards and corporate compliance requirements.
External Secrets
Integrates external secret management systems like AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, and more. Automatically sync secrets into Kubernetes or push generated secrets to external systems.
Open Component Model
An open standard for describing software artifacts and lifecycle metadata in a technology-agnostic way. Used by OpenControlPlane to package and deliver components reliably to any environment.
Why These Projects?
All of these projects share OpenControlPlane's commitment to:
- Open Standards: Built on Kubernetes and cloud native principles
- Extensibility: Designed to be extended and customized
- Declarative Management: Infrastructure and services as code
- Community-Driven: Active CNCF and open-source communities
By building on these proven foundations, OpenControlPlane provides a robust, scalable platform for managing your cloud infrastructure and services.
