In this tutorial, you will learn how to use kubefirst CLI to deploy a new production-grade Kubernetes cluster locally in minutes using k3d, with the most popular cloud native tools.

It's even easier now to create a new production-ready Kubernetes cluster with the cloud native open source tools you love on Civo. You can now use the Civo marketplace to install kubefirst.

When we decided to open source kubefirst in 2021, a new metric became incredibly relevant to us - the GitHub star.

kubefirst 2.2 is out: you now have access to a GitOps catalog which lets you install apps by adding YAML files to your gitops repo (respecting the GitOps principles) for Argo CD to sync on.

By setting the filtered role and its policy attachments in the nuke.yaml, you can easily nuke everything except what's needed to recreate it all.

We recently announced support for Civo, a cloud that runs all of its infrastructure on Kubernetes. There are some pretty staggering differences between the Civo & AWS, yet some things remain virtually identical: it got me thinking about the wild journey of how we got here as an industry.

Deploying a new Kubernetes cluster has never been easier. You can now use the console app UI to do so, and have fun while your management cluster is created.

Argo CD is an open source GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes—more importantly, it’s the short path to ditching “ClickOps” and having a declarative, auditable, version-controlled cluster.

With the 2.0 release of kubefirst it's easier than before to deploy Kubernetes clusters. We added Civo as a cloud platform, now support GitLab SaaS, and the stability of our CLI has improved so much.

Terraform is fantastic for managing infrastructure as code, but eliminating CLI tooling and ClickOps-ing with GitOps fundamentals takes some extra work.

Building or converting an application to cloud native is not always easy, and include a lot of moving pieces. In this article we cover the most important parts that you need to be aware of, and explain the difference between cloud native or any apps in the cloud.

GitOps is able to reel tens, then hundreds, and soon thousands of microcomponents all back under control with the simplicity of a single branch of a git repository and some files that describe exactly what’s deployed.

The kubefirst local platform receives some awesome new upgrades including local dns, local https, and a local ingress powered by traefik

Frédéric Harper introduces himself as the new Kubefirst Principal Developer Advocate

The dream of having Kubefirst on the KubeCon floor came to its actualization, as our newly acquired project and freshly built team at Kubeshop traveled to meet in Detroit at KubeCon.

​​With kubefirst local, you can explore some of the best parts of Kubefirst running for free on a local k3d cluster in less than 5 minutes - without any cloud costs or domain prerequisites.

One of the few challenges that remains for Kubernetes is how to efficiently get started. Learn about the first steps to take when implementing Kubernetes for your organization.

One of the biggest releases to date, the latest v1.8 of Kubefirst includes an updated CLI that enables platform provisioning for Kubernetes

Kubefirst, an open-source, gitops-driven, Kubernetes-centric infrastructure and application delivery ecosystem is acquired by the Kubernetes open-source accelerator Kubeshop.
