# Design philosophy
- Cloud provider agnostic, bare-metal/self-hosted
- Focus on security and simplicity over feature creep
- No vendor lock in, most components are optional and could be easily exchanged
- Organic Open Source / open and permissive licenses over closed-source solutions
- No vendor lock in, most components are optional and could be easily changed as needed
- No premium services / subscriptions required

# Components
## OS
- all nodes are based on Alpine V3.17
- 2 GB encrypted root filesystem
- no 3rd party dependencies at boot ( other than container registries )
- all compute nodes are running on Alpine V3.18
- 2 GB encrypted root file system
- no external dependencies at boot time, apart from container registries
- minimal attack surface
- extremely small memory footprint / overhead
- cri-o container runtime incl. AppArmor support
## Container runtime
- cri-o rather than Docker for improved security and performance
## GitOps
- cli / cmd line install
- optional full ArgoCD support and integration
## Featured workloads
- rootless CI/CD build platform to build containers as part of a CI pipeline, using podman / fuse device plugin support
- containerized AI models via integrated out of the box support for Nvidia GPU workers as well as AWS Neuron
## Control plane
- all Kubernetes components compiled against Alpine OS using `buildmode=pie`

- access to control plane from within the VPC only by default ( VPN access required for Admin tasks )
- controller nodes are used for various platform admin controllers / operators to reduce costs and noise on worker nodes
## GitOps
- cli / cmd line install
- optional full ArgoCD support and integration
- fuse device plugin support to build containers as part of a CI pipeline leveraging rootless podman build agents
## AWS integrations
- IAM roles for service accounts allowing each pod to assume individual IAM roles
- access to meta-data services is blocked all workload containers on all nodes
