Kured

Open SourceFunded

Automated safe Kubernetes node reboots for cloud infrastructure.

About Kured

Kured (KUbernetes REboot Daemon) is an open-source Kubernetes daemonset designed to automate safe node reboots triggered by the underlying OS package management system. It monitors reboot sentinel files or commands to detect when a reboot is necessary, ensuring that only one node reboots at a time by leveraging a lock in the Kubernetes API server. This approach minimizes disruption and maintains cluster stability during maintenance operations.

Kured is ideal for enterprises managing Kubernetes clusters that require automated, controlled node reboots without manual intervention. It supports advanced features such as deferring reboots based on active Prometheus alerts or the presence of critical pods, and it handles node cordoning and draining before rebooting, followed by uncordoning after the reboot completes. As a Cloud Native Computing Foundation Sandbox project, Kured offers a reliable, community-driven solution for maintaining node health and uptime in cloud-native environments.
