Il Maestro

This project is a web-based application built with Laravel and Vue designed to simplify the management of multiple Kubernetes stations, with a special focus on K3S clusters. Developed as a collaborative effort by José Areia and Bruno Santos, Il Maestro enables administrators to efficiently monitor and control multiple Kubernetes environments from a centralized interface.

Project Purpose

The main goal of Il Maestro is to provide an intuitive and robust solution for managing Kubernetes deployments, particularly optimized for K3S – a lightweight Kubernetes distribution ideal for edge computing, IoT, and resource-constrained environments. This application streamlines the management tasks, making it easier for users to:

• Monitor the status and performance of multiple K3S clusters.
• Deploy and manage applications across different Kubernetes environments.
• Configure and adjust cluster settings to suit specific use cases.
• Securely access and control Kubernetes nodes with an easy-to-use web interface.

Key Features

• Multi-Cluster Management: Manage multiple Kubernetes clusters from a single dashboard.
• K3S Focus: Specialized support for K3S clusters, including lightweight deployment and configuration options.
• User-Friendly Interface: A modern, responsive UI built with Vue for a seamless user experience.
• Scalable and Extensible: Built with Laravel, providing a flexible backend for scalable deployments.
• Secure Access: Authentication and authorization mechanisms to ensure secure access to cluster resources.

Technologies Used

• Backend: Laravel
• Frontend: Vue.js
• Container Orchestration: Kubernetes (K3S)
• Database: MySQL
