Release Notes

Airship Overview

Airship is a robust system for delivering container-based cloud infrastructure (or any other containerized workload) at scale on bare metal, public clouds, and edge clouds. Airship integrates best-of-class CNCF projects, such as Cluster API, Kustomize, Metal3, and Helm Operator, to deliver a resilient and predictable lifecycle experience.

Combining easy lifecycle management with zero-downtime real-time upgrade capability, Airship can handle the provisioning and configuration of the operating system, RAID services, and the network.

  • No-touch bootstrap for remote sites as well as local sites
  • Declarative image building for both ephemeral ISO and bare metal targeted QCOWs
  • Declarative cluster lifecycle
  • Lifecycle for bare metal, public cloud, and edge cloud infrastructure
  • Single command line "airshipctl"

  • Introduction of a plan for the phases
  • Seamless integration with CNCF projects (CAPI, Metal3, Kustomize)
  • Seamless integration with security plugins like SOPS
