Kubesphere.io is an upstream project of the KubeSphere container management platform. Our vision is to provide an easier, more friendly and more powerful distributed management platform for individuals and enterprises based on Kubernetes, as well as meet more business demands and help more users to use Kubernetes faster and better.
The container platform tailored for Kubernetes multi-cloud, datacenter, and edge management
What is KubeSphere
English | ไธญๆ
KubeSphere is a distributed operating system for cloud-native application management, using Kubernetes as its kernel. It provides a plug-and-play architecture, allowing third-party applications to be seamlessly integrated into its ecosystem. KubeSphere is also a multi-tenant container platform with full-stack automated IT operation and streamlined DevOps workflows. It provides developer-friendly wizard web UI, helping enterprises to build out a more robust and feature-rich platform, which includes most common functionalities needed for enterprise Kubernetes strategy, see Feature List for details.
The following screenshots give a close insight into KubeSphere. Please check What is KubeSphere for further information.
Workbench Project Resources CI/CD Pipeline App Store Demo environment๐ฎ KubeSphere Lite provides you with free, stable, and out-of-the-box managed cluster service. After registration and login, you can easily create a K8s cluster with KubeSphere installed in only 5 seconds and experience feature-rich KubeSphere.

Features ๐ธ Provisioning Kubernetes Cluster Support deploy Kubernetes on any infrastructure, support online and air-gapped installation. Learn more. ๐ Kubernetes Multi-cluster Management Provide a centralized control plane to manage multiple Kubernetes clusters, and support the ability to propagate an app to multiple K8s clusters across different cloud providers. ๐ค Kubernetes DevOps Provide GitOps-based CD solutions and use Argo CD to provide the underlying support, collecting CD status information in real time. With the mainstream CI engine Jenkins integrated, DevOps has never been easier. Learn more. ๐ Cloud Native Observability Multi-dimensional monitoring, events and auditing logs are supported; multi-tenant log query and collection, alerting and notification are built-in. Learn more. ๐งฉ Service Mesh (Istio-based) Provide fine-grained traffic management, observability and tracing for distributed microservice applications, provides visualization for traffic topology. Learn more. ๐ป App Store Provide an App Store for Helm-based applications, and offer application lifecycle management on Kubernetes platform. Learn more. ๐ก Edge Computing Platform KubeSphere integrates KubeEdge to enable users to deploy applications on the edge devices and view logs and monitoring metrics of them on the console. Learn more. ๐ Metering and Billing Track resource consumption at different levels on a unified dashboard, which helps you make better-informed decisions on planning and reduce the cost. Learn more. ๐ Support Multiple Storage and Networking SolutionsKubeSphere uses a loosely-coupled architecture that separates the frontend from the backend. External systems can access the components of the backend through the REST APIs.

In addition, it can be deployed on any version-compatible Kubernetes cluster. The installer will start a minimal installation by default, you can enable other pluggable components before or after installation.
Quick start Installing on K8s/K3sEnsure that your cluster has installed Kubernetes v1.21.x, v1.22.x, v1.23.x, * v1.24.x, * v1.25.x, or * v1.26.x. For Kubernetes versions with an asterisk, some features may be unavailable due to incompatibility.
Run the following commands to install KubeSphere on an existing Kubernetes cluster:
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubesphere/ks-installer/releases/download/v3.4.0/kubesphere-installer.yaml kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubesphere/ks-installer/releases/download/v3.4.0/cluster-configuration.yamlAll-in-one
๐จโ๐ป No Kubernetes? You can use KubeKey to install both KubeSphere and Kubernetes/K3s in single-node mode on your Linux machine. Let's take K3s as an example:
# Download KubeKey curl -sfL https://get-kk.kubesphere.io | VERSION=v3.0.10 sh - # Make kk executable chmod +x kk # Create a cluster ./kk create cluster --with-kubernetes v1.24.14 --container-manager containerd --with-kubesphere v3.4.0
You can run the following command to view the installation logs. After KubeSphere is successfully installed, you can
access the KubeSphere web console at http://IP:30880
and log in using the default administrator account (
admin/P@88w0rd).
kubectl logs -n kubesphere-system $(kubectl get pod -n kubesphere-system -l 'app in (ks-install, ks-installer)' -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') -fKubeSphere for hosted Kubernetes services
KubeSphere is hosted on the following cloud providers, and you can try KubeSphere by one-click installation on their hosted Kubernetes services.
You can also install KubeSphere on other hosted Kubernetes services within minutes, see the step-by-step guides to get started.
