Hey Product Hunt 👋, It has been six months since our last launch on this platform, and we are very excited to show you what we have been working on! What is Cyclops? We know that Kubernetes can be difficult. That is why we created Cyclops, a truly developer-oriented Kubernetes platform. Abstract the complexities of Kubernetes, and deploy and manage your applications through a UI. Because of its platform nature, the UI itself is highly customizable - you can change it to fit your needs. How it works? Cyclops is a platform that allows DevOps teams to quickly and without coding create custom UIs for developers, QA teams, product managers, and other team members who do not necessarily have experience working with Kubernetes. But don’t worry! If you do not have a DevOps team with you, Cyclops comes with a bunch of predefined templates to get you started! Under the hood, Cyclops uses Helm charts to create your desired UIs. This means you can try Cyclops with any of your existing Helm charts or any public Helm charts you can find! What’s new? 🎀 UI redesign and rework of the workflow 📂 Introducing the templates tab and default templates to get you started 🔓 Support for private GitHub repos ⚙️ `cyctl` - our very own command line interface 🔵 Unlock the power of Bitnami charts Cyclops is fully open-source, your contributions and GitHub stars are very welcome ⭐

Hey @max_savonin1, thanks for the feedback and the awesome questions! To answer your questions: - We have a PR open for setting up RBAC via Cerbos here https://github.com/cyclops-ui/cy... - Recently, we have shipped the cli (cyctl) to go alongside Cyclops. You can use the cyctl to update your apps in a CI step - Cyclops talks only to your Kubernetes API, so it is portable between clusters and doesn't depend on any architecture Thanks for the suggested improvements! We were thinking about getting AI into the mix, but at this stage, we fear it might bloat the project and take a lot of time to implement. It's definitely something to think about. The same goes for resource utilization, but it sounds like a great addition. We have tried running Cyclops on different K8s distros, including managed K8s from AWS, Azure, and GCP, and Cyclops seems to handle it well. It is stateless and has minimal dependencies on your infrastructure—just your K8s API. To check out the architecture, if you would like to contribute, check out our contributing docs: https://github.com/cyclops-ui/cy.... We love onboarding new contributors, so feel free to pick an issue! :)

Hey Juraj, Cyclops looks really interesting. I love the idea of simplifying Kubernetes management through a customizable UI. A few questions: - How does Cyclops handle security and access controls for the different team members using the custom UIs? - Are there any limitations on the types of Helm charts that can be used with Cyclops? - What's your roadmap for adding support for other container orchestration platforms beyond Kubernetes? Congrats on the launch!

Thanks @kyrylosilin! Love the questions: - We actually have a PR in place for the implementation of RBAC via Cerbos here https://github.com/cyclops-ui/cy... - Only limitation we have is that your Helm chart has a `values.schema.json`. That might sound like a hassle, but there are tools that can generate it for you. Cerbos added a schema recently, and you can check the tools they used here https://github.com/cerbos/cerbos... - We are not currently planning on supporting other orchestrators. Do you have an orchestrator you would like to see supported? Let us know if you have any other questions!

@yc_j that's exactly why we are building it! A tool we wished we had when we first started working with k8s. Thanks for the support!

Wow, Juraj! Cyclops sounds like a game changer for anyone dealing with Kubernetes. 🙌 I love that you've made it more accessible with customizable UIs and predefined templates—seriously, that’s going to save so much time! The new features look awesome too, especially the support for private GitHub repos. Can't wait to check it out and see how it transforms my workflow! Keep up the great work!

Congrats on the launch! I definitely wish I understood Kubernetes more than I do, but I only have so much time. How much Kubernetes does one need to know in order to use Cyclops?
Juraj Karadza
Maker
@jack_michalak the idea is that you do not have to know Kubernetes to be able to use it! The usual workflow would look something like this: 1) A devops (or someone who does know K8s) creates a template for others to use through Cyclops 2) Then the developers, QAs, Product Managers, or anybody else can use that template to deploy and manage their apps in Kubernetes without having to learn Kubernetes itself Don't worry if you don't have a DevOps team behind you, Cyclops comes with a bunch of predefined templates to get you started!
