Roadmap 2027.12

Date: 2027-10-01 to 2027-12-31

Core Platform​

The items below let KubeVela manage the clusters themselves, not only the Applications running on them. They build on the multi-cluster work planned for Summer 2027. Design: Cluster Infrastructure KEP.

  • Clusters built from team-owned layers

    • Describe a cluster as a blueprint made of layers, such as networking, security and monitoring, each owned and versioned by a different team.
    • Blueprints are versioned, so every change is recorded and a cluster can always be traced back to the exact blueprint it runs.

  • Create, adopt or connect clusters

    • Create new clusters, bring existing ones under management, or connect to clusters as they are.
    • The actual provisioning is done by existing tools such as Crossplane, Cluster API, Terraform or KRO. KubeVela coordinates the order, the ownership and the rollout.

  • Ready-made building blocks for clusters

    • Provide building blocks for Helm, Kustomize, Crossplane and Terraform, plus providers for AWS EKS, Google GKE, Azure AKS and kind.
    • Reuse the same kind of definitions already used for applications, so platform teams do not have to learn a new model.
