Minimal, stable Kubernetes distribution for cloud and datacenter infrastructure

About Typhoon

Typhoon offers a minimal and stable Kubernetes distribution designed for enterprises seeking a reliable and privacy-respecting cloud infrastructure solution. It provides upstream Kubernetes with architectural conventions and cluster addons, similar to how GNU/Linux distributions deliver kernel and user-space components. Typhoon is tailored for labs, datacenters, and cloud environments, supporting single or multi-master setups with advanced networking options like Cilium or Flannel.

The platform supports multiple operating systems including Fedora CoreOS and Flatcar Linux, and integrates with major cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean, and Google Cloud, as well as bare-metal deployments. Typhoon leverages Terraform modules to declaratively define and manage Kubernetes clusters and individual components, enabling infrastructure as code practices. Its design emphasizes security with features like on-cluster etcd with TLS, RBAC, network policies, and SELinux enforcement, making it suitable for enterprise-grade deployments.
