Currently working on v0.2 of sherpa
Summit System is slowly taking shape, designed to streamline platform engineering from the ground up. Let me walk you through the evolving toolkit:
Day 0: Carabiner - Seamless Setup Foundation
Carabiner kicks off our journey by automating laptop and development environment configurations. Engineers can now achieve consistent, reproducible setups with minimal manual intervention.
Day 1: Infrastructure Orchestration
Using multiple tools to address diverse infrastructure needs:
Lead Sherpa: Bare Metal Kubernetes Deployment
Lead Sherpa enables baremetal Kubernetes cluster setup across multiple operating systems:
- Ubuntu support
- Talos support
- GlacierOS - A custom OS for Docker/Kubernetes, powered by Rancher's Elemental Toolkit
- Kubernetes cluster profiles
Sherpa: Flexible Cluster Management
Sherpa provides local and remote Kubernetes cluster configuration capabilities.
Jokull: Lightweight Container Infrastructure
For teams not requiring full Kubernetes complexity, Jokull offers simplified Docker infrastructure deployment on local and remote machines. (In fact, Jokull currently powers this website!)
Day 2+: Advanced Ecosystem Expansion
Sherpa Expedition Planner
A web application designed to:
- Create Sherpa cluster profiles
- Generate Kubernetes distributions
- Enable seamless deployment through Sherpa
Octo: AI-Powered Support
Octo, an AI assistance layer that provides intelligent support.
Acropolis: Learning and Documentation Environment
Powered by Sherpa, Runme, and AkiraDocs.ai, Acropolis serves as a comprehensive learning and documentation platform with Jokull providing on demand environments and runme powering the live learning environment runbooks linked to the knowledge base powered by Akiradocs.
The Summit System ecosystem is continuously evolving, providing flexible, powerful tools for modern development and operations teams.
