Overview

How Syself Autopilot works

You describe a cluster as a single Kubernetes object and apply it to the management cluster. Syself Autopilot builds the cluster, keeps it healthy, and upgrades it. Your workloads run on standard, upstream Kubernetes, on servers in your own Hetzner account.

Read the concepts

  • Everything is declarative

    You apply a manifest, and Autopilot reconciles your infrastructure to match it. It builds on Cluster API, the standard for managing clusters as Kubernetes objects.

  • Nodes are disposable

    A node is never patched in place. For an upgrade, a fault or a security fix, a fresh node replaces it.

  • Released as a whole

    The node image, the cluster topology and every component in the cluster ship together in one tested Cluster Stack release.
