Provide and Consume Kubernetes-native Services

kbind (formerly kube-bind) is an OpenSource project that aims to provide better support for service providers and consumers that reside in distinct Kubernetes clusters.

Let's design a post-operator / post-cluster technology

that allows a service provider persona as 1st class citizen that can securely provide centrally operated kube-native services

Kubernetes at Core

While Kubernetes has amazing ecosystem, it lacks a native way to provide APIs as services. kbind fills this gap.

Dedicated to Community

kbind is an OpenSource project. We value respectful collaboration with contributors and upstream projects above all.

Towards Something Better Than CRDs In a Post-Operator World @ KubeCon + CloudNativeCon EU 2023

Our Project Goals

Service provider and consumer separation.

A service provider defines its API in terms of CRDs and associated permission claims/limitations, and exports it for use from other clusters.

Create a standard for sharing Kubernetes native APIs.

A way multiple vendors can provide services to consumers in a way that is consistent and secure.

Building Block, Not Walled Garden.

To be vendor agnostic, and to allow for a rich ecosystem of services to be provided to consumers.

We ❤️ Collaboration

We develop kbind completely in the open. Everybody is welcome to help making the vision of kbind reality.
