In their own words
Kubean
Kubean is an open-source toolchain for managing Kubernetes cluster lifecycles. It runs on an existing Kubernetes cluster and uses Kubespray and other lifecycle engines. A declarative API and Kubernetes resources support installation, uninstallation, upgrades and scaling, including worker-node and control-plane operations. The documented installation method is a Helm chart, requiring an existing standard or cloud-provider Kubernetes cluster and Helm. Deployments can use SSH, with an SSH private key stored in a Kubernetes Secret referenced by a Cluster resource. Kubean supports offline deployment and publishes operating-system packages, images and binaries with releases. Operations can run a playbook or shell command, with optional pre-operation and post-operation hooks. Listed delivery architectures include AMD, ARM and Kunpeng with Kylin. Supported environments include bare metal, virtual machines and cloud environments, with customer-managed control planes. Offline packages cover CentOS, Red Hat, Kylin and Ubuntu; local ISO sources are currently limited to CentOS.
