About Kosi

What is KOSI

KOSI is a professional software installation tool tailored for Kubernetes clusters. Its primary function is to streamline the process of defining, installing, and overseeing self-contained packages within Kubernetes environments. These packages are versatile and can be adjusted to suit various requirements and configurations.

By packaging applications and their associated Kubernetes resources into KOSI-packages, developers can easily share and distribute their applications. Users can then use KOSI to install, upgrade, and manage these charts, making it easier to deploy complex applications in Kubernetes environments.

KOSI uses a quick-to-learn command line interface (CLI).

Why use KOSI?

KOSI, drawing inspiration from Helms user-friendly design, empowers software developers to craft comprehensive packages. These packages can encompass multiple artifacts and essential dependencies, consolidated into a single KOSI package.

When deploying software into your environments, you simply retrieve this package from the KubeOps hub. KOSI efficiently manages all pertinent dependencies, ensuring smooth installation processes.

This makes the process of installing software with KOSI into your cluster simplified, secure and flawless.
