Hey @max_savonin1, thanks for the feedback and the awesome questions!
To answer your questions:
- We have a PR open for setting up RBAC via Cerbos here https://github.com/cyclops-ui/cy...
- Recently, we have shipped the cli (cyctl) to go alongside Cyclops. You can use the cyctl to update your apps in a CI step
- Cyclops talks only to your Kubernetes API, so it is portable between clusters and doesn't depend on any architecture
Thanks for the suggested improvements! We were thinking about getting AI into the mix, but at this stage, we fear it might bloat the project and take a lot of time to implement. It's definitely something to think about. The same goes for resource utilization, but it sounds like a great addition.
We have tried running Cyclops on different K8s distros, including managed K8s from AWS, Azure, and GCP, and Cyclops seems to handle it well. It is stateless and has minimal dependencies on your infrastructure—just your K8s API.
To check out the architecture, if you would like to contribute, check out our contributing docs: https://github.com/cyclops-ui/cy.... We love onboarding new contributors, so feel free to pick an issue! :)
Cyclops, you've got your eye on simplifying Kubernetes, eh? While I'm not sure we needed another K8s tool, I must admit your UI looks slick! Just hope it doesn't turn devs into one-eyed monsters glued to their screens. Jokes aside, congrats on the launch! Keep up the fantastic work.
@matijash teams where a DevOps guy seems like a bottleneck when it comes to deploying to Kubernetes.
With Cyclops, a DevOps can create a custom UI (with validations) that lets everyone else deploy their apps at their own pace.
It's great to see that someone is finally making Kubernetes easy and accessible! Congratulations!
Wow, Juraj! Cyclops sounds like a game changer for anyone dealing with Kubernetes. 🙌 I love that you've made it more accessible with customizable UIs and predefined templates—seriously, that’s going to save so much time! The new features look awesome too, especially the support for private GitHub repos. Can't wait to check it out and see how it transforms my workflow! Keep up the great work!
@blankwebdev glad you find it interesting! We would appreciate your feedback once you try it! 🙌
Congratulations on the launch! It looks like you guys really understand what devs need 🙌 What's next?
@matija_srbic thanks! We have a roadmap on our GitHub repo, check it out -> https://github.com/cyclops-ui/cy...
@reneewuishere I'll be sure to forward this to our designer 😄
Thanks for your support!
Hey Juraj,
Cyclops looks really interesting. I love the idea of simplifying Kubernetes management through a customizable UI.
A few questions:
- How does Cyclops handle security and access controls for the different team members using the custom UIs?
- Are there any limitations on the types of Helm charts that can be used with Cyclops?
- What's your roadmap for adding support for other container orchestration platforms beyond Kubernetes?
Congrats on the launch!
Thanks @kyrylosilin! Love the questions:
- We actually have a PR in place for the implementation of RBAC via Cerbos here https://github.com/cyclops-ui/cy...
- Only limitation we have is that your Helm chart has a `values.schema.json`. That might sound like a hassle, but there are tools that can generate it for you. Cerbos added a schema recently, and you can check the tools they used here https://github.com/cerbos/cerbos...
- We are not currently planning on supporting other orchestrators. Do you have an orchestrator you would like to see supported?
Let us know if you have any other questions!
@yc_j that's exactly why we are building it! A tool we wished we had when we first started working with k8s.
Thanks for the support!
