About Kubespray
Kubespray is a set of Ansible playbooks, roles and example inventories that install and configure a Kubernetes cluster on servers you provide. You describe your hosts in an inventory, run the playbooks and get a working cluster. The same tooling can manage the cluster after installation.
It is maintained under the kubernetes-sigs organisation and suits administrators who already use Ansible and want a repeatable way to build clusters on bare metal or virtual machines.
Strengths
- Repeatable cluster installs driven by Ansible inventories
- Maintained under the Kubernetes SIGs organisation
- Works on servers you already own or rent
Limitations
- Requires familiarity with Ansible and Kubernetes
- Heavier than lightweight single-binary Kubernetes installers
