Kubernetes Cluster API Provider Azure

---

Kubernetes-native declarative infrastructure for Azure.

What is the Cluster API Provider Azure

The Cluster API brings declarative, Kubernetes-style APIs to cluster creation, configuration and management.

The API itself is shared across multiple cloud providers allowing for true Azure hybrid deployments of Kubernetes.

Support Policy

This provider's versions are compatible with the following versions of Cluster API:

	Cluster API 0.0.x	Cluster API 0.1 (unreleased)	Cluster API 0.2 (unreleased)
Azure Provider 0.1 (unreleased)	✓	✓	-
Azure Provider 0.2 (unreleased)	x	x	✓

This provider's versions are able to install and manage the following versions of Kubernetes:

	Kubernetes 1.13	Kubernetes 1.14 (unreleased)
Azure Provider 0.1 (unreleased)	✓	? (Currently untested)
Azure Provider 0.2 (unreleased)	x	✓

In general, Cluster API for Azure will remain in lock-step with Cluster API versioning in terms of support e.g., Azure Provider v0.x will maintain compatibility with Cluster API v0.x.

Each version of Cluster API for Azure will attempt to support two Kubernetes versions e.g., Cluster API for Azure v0.1 may support Kubernetes 1.13 and Kubernetes 1.14.

NOTE: As the versioning for this project is tied to the versioning of Cluster API, future modifications to this policy may be made to more closely align with other providers in the Cluster API ecosystem.

Getting involved and contributing

Are you interested in contributing to cluster-api-provider-azure? We, the maintainers and community, would love your suggestions, contributions, and help! Also, the maintainers can be contacted at any time to learn more about how to get involved.

In the interest of getting more new people involved, we tag issues with good first issue. These are typically issues that have smaller scope but are good ways to start to get acquainted with the codebase.

We also encourage ALL active community participants to act as if they are maintainers, even if you don't have "official" write permissions. This is a community effort, we are here to serve the Kubernetes community. If you have an active interest and you want to get involved, you have real power! Don't assume that the only people who can get things done around here are the "maintainers".

We also would love to add more "official" maintainers, so show us what you can do!

This repository uses the Kubernetes bots. See a full list of the commands here.

• Open a feature request.
• Remember users might be searching for your issue in the future, so please give it a meaningful title to helps others.
• Clearly define the use case, using concrete examples. EG: I type this and cluster-api-provider-azure does that.
• Some of our larger features will require some design. If you would like to include a technical design for your feature please include it in the issue.
• After the new feature is well understood, and the design agreed upon we can start coding the feature. We would love for you to code it. So please open up a WIP (work in progress) pull request, and happy coding.
