Kubernetes Cluster API (CAPI) is a Kubernetes sub-project focused on providing declarative APIs and tooling to simplify provisioning, upgrading, and operating multiple Kubernetes clusters.
Started by SIG Cluster Lifecycle, Cluster API uses Kubernetes-style APIs and patterns to automate cluster lifecycle management. The infrastructure (VMs, networks, load balancers, VPCs) and Kubernetes configuration are defined declaratively, enabling consistent and repeatable cluster deployments across environments.
While kubeadm reduces installation complexity, it doesn't address day-to-day cluster management:
