⁠IzyKube

A visual Kubernetes cluster designer and deployment tool.

IzyKube lets you design Kubernetes clusters visually using a drag-and-drop diagram editor, then automatically generates YAML manifests and deploys them to a real Kubernetes cluster — no YAML writing required.

⁠What is IzyKube?

IzyKube is a full-stack application composed of:

• an Angular frontend with a GoJS-powered diagram canvas
• a Spring Boot backend that processes cluster definitions into Kubernetes YAML and interacts with a live cluster via the Fabric8 Kubernetes client

Users drag nodes (Deployments, Services, Pods, ConfigMaps, Ingresses, Volumes) onto a canvas, connect them, fill in configuration forms, and deploy — all from a visual interface.

⁠Supported Node Types

⁠Quick Start

⁠Prerequisites

• Docker
• A running Kubernetes cluster (minikube, kind, or k3s)
• A local Docker registry
• MongoDB instance

⁠Run with Docker Compose

version: '3.8'
services:
  backend:
    image: izylife/izykube-backend:latest
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    environment:
      SPRING_DATA_MONGODB_URI: mongodb://mongo:27017/izykube
      APP_DOCKER_LOCAL_REPOSITORY_URI: localhost:5000
      KUBECONFIG: /root/.kube/config
    volumes:
      - ~/.kube:/root/.kube:ro

  frontend:
    image: izylife/izykube-frontend:latest
    ports:
      - "4200:80"
    depends_on:
      - backend

  mongo:
    image: mongo:6
    ports:
      - "27017:27017"

docker compose up

Open http://localhost:4200⁠ in your browser.

⁠Environment Variables

⁠Workflow

1. Design — drag nodes onto the canvas and connect them
2. Configure — fill in the side panel forms for each node
3. Save — persist the cluster definition to the backend
4. Create Template — generate Kubernetes YAML manifests
5. Deploy — apply manifests to the live cluster via Fabric8
6. Undeploy — tear down all deployed resources
