Define Kubernetes native apps and abstractions using object-oriented programming
AI Architecture Analysis
This repository is indexed by RepoMind. By analyzing cdk8s-team/cdk8s in our AI interface, you can instantly generate complete architecture diagrams, visualize control flows, and perform automated security audits across the entire codebase.
Our Agentic Context Augmented Generation (Agentic CAG) engine loads full source files into context on-demand, avoiding the fragmentation of traditional RAG systems. Ask questions about the architecture, dependencies, or specific features to see it in action.

Repository Overview (README excerpt)
Crawler viewCloud Development Kit for Kubernetes **cdk8s** is an open-source software development framework for defining Kubernetes applications and reusable abstractions using familiar programming languages and rich object-oriented APIs. cdk8s apps synthesize into standard Kubernetes manifests which can be applied to any Kubernetes cluster. cdk8s is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation Sandbox Project, built with ❤️ at AWS. We encourage you to try it out, leave feedback, and jump in to help! Contents: • Repositories • Overview • Getting Started • Help \& Feedback • Documentation • Examples • Roadmap • Community • Contributing • CDK8s.io website • License Repositories This project consists of multiple packages, maintained and released via the following repositories: • cdk8s - Core library. For historical reasons note that the package is maintained in the repository. • cdk8s-cli - Command-Line interface. • cdk8s-plus - High-Level constructs for Kubernetes core. The current repository acts as an umbrella repository for cross module concerns, as well as the deployment of Overview **cdk8s** apps are programs written in one of the supported programming languages. They are structured as a tree of constructs. The root of the tree is an construct. Within an app, users define any number of charts (classes that extend the class). Each chart is synthesized into a separate Kubernetes manifest file. Charts are, in turn, composed of any number of constructs, and eventually from resources, which represent any Kubernetes resource, such as , , , , etc. cdk8s apps only ***define*** Kubernetes applications, they don't actually apply them to the cluster. When an app is executed, it *synthesizes* all the charts defined within the app into the directory, and then those charts can be applied to any Kubernetes cluster using or a GitOps tool like Flux. > **cdk8s** is based on the design concepts and technologies behind the AWS Cloud Development Kit, and can interoperate with AWS CDK constructs to define cloud-native applications that include both Kubernetes resources and other CDK constructs as first class citizens.
