Kubernetes-native declarative infrastructure for GCP.
The Cluster API brings declarative Kubernetes-style APIs to cluster creation, configuration and management. The API itself is shared across multiple cloud providers allowing for true Google Cloud hybrid deployments of Kubernetes.
Please see our book for in-depth documentation.
Checkout our Cluster API Quick Start to create your first Kubernetes cluster on Google Cloud Platform using Cluster API.

NOTE: As the versioning for this project is tied to the versioning of Cluster API, future modifications to this policy may be made to more closely align with other providers in the Cluster API ecosystem.
