Kubespray Intro
summary
Kubespray deploys and manages Kubernetes clusters using Ansible playbooks and containerized control plane components, supports heterogeneous OSes and cloud or bare‑metal nodes, and uses three certificate modes (openssl, kubeadm, Vault). CI runs 20+ configuration scenarios; safe and unsafe upgrade paths exist; clusters scale in tests to 1,000 nodes in ~7 hours. Network plugins like Calico/Canal/Weave are configurable, multi‑master works via a per‑host load balancer pattern, but automatic node autoscaling (VM provisioning) is not provided.
