With more apps now than ever before running in containers (and a growing percentage of them part in production), IT and dev teams are looking for further ways of optimizing to gain efficiencies. One of them comes in the shape of running apps and the Kubernetes (K8s) platform directly on bare metal servers.

With more of our customers exploring the option of running bare metal K8s, this is an area that we could not ignore, and our team here at Spectro Cloud is happy to announce the release of the first Cluster API MaaS provider (“cluster-api-provider-maas”) and make bare metal K8s easy for anyone.

We’ll cover the steps to set up Canonical MaaS, setting up the Cluster API framework, and then of course provisioning the K8s cluster.

Now that you are treating your bare metal clusters just like any other cluster in your K8s environment, there are a number of other interesting things you can try: The new Cluster API MaaS provider allows organizations to be able to easily deploy, run and manage K8s clusters directly on top of bare-metal servers, increasing performance and minimizing cost and operational effort.
