Exploring OnMetal — Sebastian Sutter and Florian Fuerstenberg
summary
Gardener on Metal is a Kubernetes-driven IaaS that implements infrastructure as Kubernetes APIs and operators using KVM for VMs, Pixie boot from OCI registries, and storage via S E F style solutions while integrating with Gardener for Kubernetes lifecycle. It auto-discovers and bootstraps bare metal, performs auto discovery bootstrap and can auto-scale hardware into compute clusters, exposes Intel SGX enclaves for confidential computing, maps partition/region/compute/storage clusters to data center topology, and runs in production in T-Systems Open Sovereign Cloud for six months.
