Drag and Drop Kubernetes — Deckhand Sets Sail!
Deckhand is a no code Kubernetes deployment tool that simplifies the process of deploying a Kubernetes cluster. It offers a visual drag and drop interface, the ability to connect any software, and no vendor lock-in. Microservice architecture provides advantages in scalability, flexibility, and speed. Kubernetes is considered hard due to its complex nature and reliance on YAML files. Deckhand offers features such as automated provisioning and deployment, Docker image building, environmental variable scanning, YAML file generation, and complete automation. Future developments for Deckhand include integrations with Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure, as well as advanced cluster health and cost monitoring.
