AddThis site documents how to develop, deploy, and test a Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver on Kubernetes.
The Container Storage Interface (CSI) is a standard for exposing arbitrary block and file storage systems to containerized workloads on Container Orchestration Systems (COs) like Kubernetes. Using CSI third-party storage providers can write and deploy plugins exposing new storage systems in Kubernetes without ever having to touch the core Kubernetes code.
Kubernetes Dashboard is a general purpose, web-based UI for Kubernetes clusters. It allows users to manage applications running in the cluster and troubleshoot them, as well as manage the cluster itself.
Kepler (Kubernetes-based Efficient Power Level Exporter) is a Prometheus exporter. It uses eBPF to probe CPU performance counters and Linux kernel tracepoints.
These data and stats from cgroup and sysfs can then be fed into ML models to estimate energy consumption by Pods.

Metrics Server is a scalable, efficient source of container resource metrics for Kubernetes built-in autoscaling pipelines.
Metrics Server collects resource metrics from Kubelets and exposes them in Kubernetes apiserver through Metrics API for use by Horizontal Pod Autoscaler and Vertical Pod Autoscaler. Metrics API can also be accessed by kubectl top, making it easier to debug autoscaling pipelines.
The Kubernetes Monitoring Helm chart makes it easy to start gathering telemetry data from your Kubernetes clusters. With one deployment, you can capture all of the metrics, logs, traces, and profiles from your cluster and the applications running on it!

Turnkey Kubernetes networking solution.
The Kube-router is a turnkey solution for Kubernetes networking with aim to provide operational simplicity. Networking is hard as such. In typical Kubernetes cluster you would need to install multiple network components for various functionality. With many moving parts it makes Kubernetes networking even harder. Kube-router provides a cohesive yet lean and powerful alternative to several network components you would use. All this from a single DaemonSet/Binary. It doesn't get any easier.

KubeVela is a modern software delivery platform that makes deploying and operating applications across today's hybrid, multi-cloud environments easier, faster and more reliable.
Kubevious (pronounced [kju:bvi:əs]) is a suite of app-centric assurance, validation, and introspection products for Kubernetes. It helps running modern Kubernetes applications without disasters and costly outages by continuously validating application manifests, cluster state, and configuration. Kubevious projects detect and prevent errors(typos, misconfigurations, conflicts, inconsistencies) and violations of best practices. Our secret sauce is based on the ability to validate across multiple manifests and look at the configuration from the application vantage point.
A Kubernetes operator of virtual BMCs that provide Redfish and IPMI services for KubeVirt virtual machines.
Bare-metal provisioning tools like Metal3, Tinkerbell, and Seeder rely on IPMI and Redfish to manage server power state, boot devices, and firmware. KubeVirt virtual machines have none of these interfaces out of the box, making them invisible to existing infrastructure automation.
KubeVirtBMC fills that gap. It is a Kubernetes operator that creates a virtual BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) for each KubeVirt VM, exposing standard IPMI and Redfish endpoints that map directly to Kubernetes-native operations. The result: your VMs become first-class citizens in any bare-metal provisioning pipeline.

Talk to one agent. Ship with a crew.
You can run one coding agent easily. But the moment you want three project tasks done in parallel - fixes, investigations, plans, audits - you become a tab-juggler: babysitting sessions, copy-pasting context between repos, forgetting which terminal had the failing test.
firstmate flips the model. You talk to a single agent - the first mate - and it runs the crew for you: spawning autonomous agents in tmux windows, giving each a clean git worktree, supervising them to completion, and handing you finished PRs, approved local merges, or standalone investigation reports. For larger fleets, you can opt in to persistent secondmates: domain supervisors that are still ordinary direct reports, but run from their own isolated firstmate homes. There is no app to install; the orchestrator is AGENTS.md, bundled skills, and helper scripts that any terminal coding agent can follow.
