The use cases that drove the initial development of the tool are the Slurm-powered HPC centers, regardless the plugin based design is enabling several additional use cases to provide Kubernetes-API based access to infrastracture that cannot host a Kubelet processes. +InterLink is a Virtual Kubelet provider that can manage container lifecycle through a well defined API specification, allowing for any resource provider to be integrated with a simple http server and a handful of methods. +In other words, this is an attempt to streamline the process of creating custom Virtual Kubelet providers, avoiding the need for any resource provider to implement its own version of a Kubelet workflow, which would require having some domain expertise in the Kubernetes internals. + +For detailed instruction, follow the guide [here](https://intertwin-eu.github.io/interLink/docs/category/guides). + ### Liqo Provider [Liqo](https://liqo.io) implements a provider for Virtual Kubelet designed to transparently offload pods and services to "peered" Kubernetes remote cluster. Liqo is capable of discovering neighbor clusters (using DNS, mDNS) and "peer" with them, or in other words, establish a relationship to share part of the cluster resources. When a cluster has established a peering, a new instance of the Liqo Virtual Kubelet is spawned to seamlessly extend the capacity of the cluster, by providing an abstraction of the resources of the remote cluster. The provider combined with the Liqo network fabric extends the cluster networking by enabling Pod-to-Pod traffic and multi-cluster east-west services, supporting endpoints on both clusters. diff --git a/website/data/providers.yaml b/website/data/providers.yaml index 370c30dc2..a979d5e24 100644 --- a/website/data/providers.yaml +++ b/website/data/providers.yaml @@ -19,6 +19,9 @@ tag: huawei-cci - name: HashiCorp Nomad tag: nomad +- name: InterLink + tag: interlink + org: infn - name: Liqo tag: liqo org: liqotech
