hiento09/charts

This is a personal collection of Helm charts for deploying infrastructure on Kubernetes. Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes, think of it like an app store for server software, where a chart is a reusable template that automates the configuration and deployment of a service. Kubernetes itself is a system for running and managing containerized applications across a cluster of machines. The main chart in this collection is called openstack-kamaji-cluster. It sets up a workload Kubernetes cluster on OpenStack, which is an open cloud computing platform, using two tools: Cluster API, which automates the creation and management of Kubernetes clusters, and Kamaji, which provides hosted control planes. A control plane is the brain of a Kubernetes cluster, the part that makes scheduling and management decisions. Kamaji's approach runs these control planes without dedicating separate virtual machines to them, which reduces resource overhead. The charts are published as OCI artifacts, a standardized container image format, and hosted on GitHub Container Registry. This means anyone can install a chart with a single Helm command pointing to that registry location, or declare it as a dependency in their own chart configuration file. Automated workflows handle linting, checking for errors, and packaging on each update. This repository would be useful to a developer or infrastructure engineer managing cloud environments who wants a ready made, version controlled way to spin up Kubernetes clusters on OpenStack without manually wiring together all the underlying components. Each chart ships with its own documentation covering prerequisites, configurable values, install steps, and worked examples, so operators do not need to read through source code to figure out how to use it. The repository also runs automated lint and package checks on every change through GitHub Actions, giving some assurance that published charts are valid before anyone installs them. The project is released under the Apache 2.0 license and is described by its author as a personal collection, meaning it may grow to include more charts over time as new infrastructure needs come up. For now it holds a single chart focused specifically on OpenStack cluster provisioning.
