Provisioning basics
VKPR acts as a facilitator for provisioning infrastructuresensuring in certain deployments the GitOps way. Your goal is to abstract as much information from the user and build a framework based on the ideal scenario of your tools.
Through VKPR you can start a local development environment and test your application before deploying it to a cloud provider.

Written in Terraform with pipelines Gitlab, any changes you want to make to the cluster, there will be a config file as the source of truth. Changing it will reflect all changes in your cloud.

Creating a production-ready managed k8s cluster requires too many specifics from the cloud vendor itself. VKPR has an opinionated take on several configs and enforces a GitOps approach on infrastructure provisioning.
