I've stumbled on the skuba project[1]. It is a tool made by the SUSE team wich is a "Tool to manage the full lifecycle of a cluster." As I see it, it is a rewrite of kubic-control wich relies on SSH instead of the Salt Stack to manage the deployment and the maintainance of a Kubernetes cluster.

It's not a rewrite, it is fully independent. It's even older than kubic-control I think.

Why is there two projects? Should I switch to skuba when using OpenSUSE kubic or is kubic-control still the way to go ?

If you like you can try to port skuba to openSUSE Kubic and maintain it for Kubic there. But skuba has one big problem here: it does not work with a rolling release and a read-only root filesystem. That's something you need to solve first. skuba and kubic-control follow complete different, not compatible approaches, that's why there are two projects. Only look a little bit deeper into them how they work. A third tool combining the best from both would be great, but I don't see that somebody has the knowledge and time to do that. So currently I expect both will be obsoleted by something coming from Rancher. Thorsten

Best regards,

Francisco
