Automation makes everything better indeed. It was first announced in November 2017 as a project to facilitate safe reboots across the cluster, which accelerates the rollout of critical OS security fixes to Kubernetes clusters. Kured is the Kubernetes Reboot Daemon - it helps perform safe automatic node reboots, when indicated by the package management of the underlying OS. In November of 2022, Flux reached CNCF graduated status, the highest level of project maturity. We are proud to see it in the CNCF as our third project after Cortex and Flux,” - Alexis Richardson, Weaveworks CEO Like all of Weaveworks tools it also showcases the value of automation and security. Kured is a terrific example because of how many practitioners have come together around such an important part of the Kubernetes management workflow. “Weaveworks has always believed that infrastructure software benefits from open-source development.

Kured is the third project donation to the CNCF, following Cortex, a monitoring system based on Prometheus, and Flux, the widely popular continuous delivery tool. And one way we strive to do that is by contributing open source software.

Kured is a Kubernetes daemonset, a tool that safely and automatically performs node reboots when needed.Īt Weaveworks, we are committed to building and expanding the cloud-native ecosystem. We are excited to announce that Weaveworks has donated Kured to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as a Sandbox project.
