My dream platform

platform.md

My dream platform:

  1. Single binary install on nodes, and easy to join them into a cluster.

  2. Resources defined as JSON with comments in a simple format with JSON Schema URLs denoting resource types - I should be able to run 1 container with 3 lines of resource definition.

  3. Everything as a CRD... No resources or funcionality pre-installed and instead available via publicly hosted HTTPS schema URLs.

  4. Pluggable / auto-installed runtimes based on the schema URL or a "runtime" field: containers, vms, firecracker, wasm, maybe even bare processes, etc.

  5. A standard web dashboard with a marketplace which can install multiple containers, vms, wasm or via a copy-pasted HTTPS URL, or a standard electron app which lets me connect to clusters or manage local deployments on my devbox.

  6. Apps can provide a JSON schema with config options, which map to env vars and volume mounts and can be displayed in a user friendly way in the web dashboard.

I feel something like this could standardize even more than kube. I'd love if one system allowed me to manage AWS EC2 / DigitalOcean / Proxmox instances, as well as manage services on my devbox for daily use (like daemons, etc.)

With that said, I do like a standard format across service providers. While I do find kube complex at times, I like that something "won" this battle, and I also like the push towards containers vs vms.
