Introduction
Kuberise.io is a free, open-source Internal Developer Platform for Kubernetes environments.
What is an IDP?
An Internal Developer Platform (IDP) is a set of tools and services that abstracts infrastructure complexity, allowing developers to deploy applications without deep knowledge of Kubernetes or cloud infrastructure.
What is Kuberise.io?
Kuberise.io is a free, open-source IDP for Kubernetes. It provides pre-configured platform tools (observability, security, networking, CI/CD) that you can install with a single command. You fork the repository, enable the tools you need, and run the install script.
Key principles:
- GitOps — the Git repository is the single source of truth. ArgoCD keeps the cluster in sync with the code.
- App-of-apps pattern — one ArgoCD Application deploys all other ArgoCD Applications.
- DRY configuration — shared templates and defaults with per-cluster overrides. No duplication.
- No lock-in — all tools are popular open-source projects. You have full control.
Prerequisites
Kuberise.io does not install Kubernetes itself. You need:
- A running Kubernetes cluster (minikube, KIND, k3d, or any cloud provider)
- CLI tools:
kubectl,helm,htpasswd,git,openssl - A GitHub account (or any Git hosting)
What's Next
- Installation — fork, clone, and run the install script
- Folder Structure — understand the repository layout
- Enable/Disable Tools — choose which tools to install
