bootc-mke3 is an integrated container orchestration platform that is powered by an immutable Rocky Linux operating system, offering next-level security and reliability.
This repository contains a collection of tool, utilities and guides for managing and operating with bootc-mke3. These tools support operations, automation, and configuration for secure and scalable container environments.
Installation covers everything from provisioning bare infrastructure to a running MKE cluster: registry and machine requirements, provisioning with Terraform (vSphere/AWS) or manually, running the Ansible installer, and the controllers deployed by default post-install. See the full guide at Installation guide documentation pages.
Mirantis provides assets for provisioning bootc-mke3 on different providers. Assets consist of bootable images that can be used to provision a virtual machine or bare-metal machine.
