About Edka
Edka automates the creation of a production‑ready Platform as a Service (PaaS) on top of standard cloud virtual machines and Kubernetes. It reduces the manual effort required to run applications on Kubernetes by providing preconfigured open source add-ons that turn a Kubernetes cluster into a full-fledged PaaS.
Edka simplifies Kubernetes operations by organizing them into layers:
Layer 1: Cluster provisioning – A simple UI to provision a k3s-based cluster. You can create a cluster in one click using the default values.
Layer 2: Add-ons - One-click deploy for metrics-server, cert-manager, and various operators; preconfigured for Hetzner, no extra setup required.
Layer 3: Applications - Minimal config UIs for apps built on top of add-ons.
Layer 4: Deployments - Edka updates deployments automatically (with semantic versioning rules), supports instant rollbacks, autoscaling, persistent volumes, secrets/env imports, and quick public exposure.
