Release Notes

Airship Overview

Airship is a robust system for delivering container-based cloud infrastructure (or any other containerized workload) at scale on bare metal, public clouds, and edge clouds. Airship integrates best-of-class CNCF projects, such as Cluster API, Kustomize, Metal3, and Helm Operator, to deliver a resilient and predictable lifecycle experience.

Combining easy lifecycle management with zero-downtime real-time upgrade capability, Airship can handle the provisioning and configuration of the operating system, RAID services, and the network.
