Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

- Zarf: K8s in Airgapped Environments

Air gapped on prem install - what would you do?
There is a tool written for this exact scenario! (disclaimer: I am a maintainer) https://github.com/defenseunicorns/zarf . Zarf can create packages out of all of your images, Helm charts, manifests... and deploy that package w/ zero dependencies on the other side (you can even use k3s built into the default init package if you don't have a cluster). The docs do it more justice https://docs.zarf.dev/docs/zarf-overview .
- Zarf – DevSecOps for Air Gap and Limited-Connection Systems
- GitHub - defenseunicorns/zarf: K8s Airgap Buddy
- zarf: K8s Airgap Buddy - Zarf massively simplifies the setup & administration of kubernetes clusters "across the air gap". It provides a static go binary CLI that can pull, package, and install all the things your clusters need to run. It caches downloads (for speed), hashes packages (for security)

What is the Hardest Environment to Deploy to?
We're working on https://github.com/defenseunicorns/zarf which can deploy to bare metal and an airgap environment

Self-service infrastructure as code
Given the team had already adopted GitOps and were familiar with deployments powered by Helm Releases and Flux, we wanted to move the provisioning of the infrastructure to be part of the same process of creating the service and its continuous deployment.

Weaveworks Is Shuting Down
Your GitHub action can trigger a helm chart, or series thereof, or other infra tools. Declarative specifications, triggered procedurally with the context of the branch’s latest build. We use this pattern quite extensively for preview app workflows.
As of a year ago this is possible in a fully declarative way with Flux 2, but there’s a lot more moving parts and security footguns - and the idea that the maintenance of this project has lost one of its primary sponsors is worrying at best.

10 Ways for Kubernetes Declarative Configuration Management
FluxCD - FluxCD is another popular GitOps tool that allows developers to use a Git repository as the sole source of configuration. Flux automatically ensures that the state of the Kubernetes cluster is synchronized with the configuration in the Git repository. It supports automatic updates, meaning Flux can monitor Docker image repositories for new images and push updates to the cluster.

Best Kubernetes DevOps Tools: A Comprehensive Guide
Flux CD enables continuous deployment to Kubernetes through GitOps by syncing Git repositories with Kubernetes clusters. Flux CD enables GitOps for Kubernetes through source control integration. It manages Kubernetes manifests as code and syncs git repo changes to clusters. Flux automates checks, deployments, and updates within clusters.

Git going with GitOps on AKS: A Step-by-Step Guide using FluxCD AKS Extension
FluxCD is a GitOps tool developed by Weaveworks that allows you to implement continuous and progressive delivery of your applications on Kubernetes. It is a CNCF graduated project that offers a set of controllers to monitor Git repositories and reconciles the cluster's actual state with the desired state defined by manifests committed in the repo.

Ultimate EKS Baseline Cluster: Part 1 - Provision EKS
From here, we can explore other developments and tutorials on Kubernetes, such as o11y or observability (PLG, ELK, ELF, TICK, Jaeger, Pyroscope), service mesh (Linkerd, Istio, NSM, Consul Connect, Cillium), and progressive delivery (ArgoCD, FluxCD, Spinnaker).

Reducing Cloud Costs on Kubernetes Dev Envs
Instead, we will create a single long-lived cluster, and deploy our application in different namespaces. There are a bunch of ways to do that - see ArgoCD, Flux, custom internal tooling, or other solutions (we use our own product). That way, we:

What is the proper, kubernetes native way of working with multiple clusters for DR, HA?
One is to make sure configurations in both clusters is same. And for that there are many tools like fluxcd or projectsveltos
What are some alternatives?
helmify - Creates Helm chart from Kubernetes yaml
helmfile - Deploy Kubernetes Helm Charts
vcluster - vCluster - Create fully functional virtual Kubernetes clusters - Each vcluster runs inside a namespace of the underlying k8s cluster. It's cheaper than creating separate full-blown clusters and it offers better multi-tenancy and isolation than regular namespaces.
argo-cd - Declarative Continuous Deployment for Kubernetes
Flux - Successor: https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2
spinnaker - Spinnaker is an open source, multi-cloud continuous delivery platform for releasing software changes with high velocity and confidence.
helmfile - Declaratively deploy your Kubernetes manifests, Kustomize configs, and Charts as Helm releases. Generate all-in-one manifests for use with ArgoCD.
