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

# Components
## OS
- all nodes are based on Alpine V3.15
- 2 GB encrypted root filesystem
- no 3rd party dependencies at boot ( other than container registries )
- minimal attack surface
- extremely small memory footprint / overhead
## Container runtime
- cri-o rather than Docker for improved security and performance
## Control plane
- all Kubernetes components compiled against Alpine OS using `buildmode=pie`
- support for single node control plane for small clusters / test environments to reduce costs
- 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
