IT-Standard Compatibility
To meet IT industry standards, we integrated the most used tools for IT workload deployments.
Docker
Docker is the standard and most widely used container system.
It is supported on the ThreeFold_Grid through the Kubernetes orchestrator layer or directly through conversion into a flist on the ThreeFold Hub. Extensive Docker documentation can be found here.
Kubernetes
Kubernetes is the standard for container orchestration.
On the TF grid, someone can deploy a Kubernetes orchestrator out of the box. We have implemented K3S, a full-blown Kubernetes offering that uses only half of the memory footprint. It is packaged as a single binary and made more lightweight to run workloads in resource-constrained locations (fits e.g. IoT, edge, ARM workloads).
Helm
The process for deploying workloads on a Kubernetes cluster can be made easy by using Helm templates. These templates are YAML-formatted resource descriptions that Kubernetes can operate. A nice guide describes all ins and outs of this widely used way of defining workload fit for Kubernetes.
Filesystem
For storage, any file system will be supported; see our qsfs for more detail.
