satellite

README

Satellite is a Golang library and RESTful API that determines a host's cloud provider with a simple HTTP call. Behind the scenes, it uses file systems and provider metadata to properly identify cloud providers.

Satellite(SAT)

Satellite is widely used across the Banzai Cloud Pipeline platform. We are cloud agnostic but at the same time cloud aware - using the Banzai Cloud Kubernetes operators all our code relies on Satellite to determine the cloud provider and inject the cloud specific code.

With this simple service the cloud provider can be determined easily with a simple HTTP call.

Supported Cloud Providers

• Amazon
• Alibaba Cloud
• Azure
• Google Cloud
• Oracle Cloud
• DigitalOcean

API

• GET "/satellite" -> {name: cloudprovider}

Helm chart

You can deloy Satellite to a cloud based Kubernetes cluster using this Helm chart.

To install the chart from the Banzai Cloud chart repo:

$ helm repo add banzaicloud-stable http://kubernetes-charts.banzaicloud.com/branch/master
$ helm install banzaicloud-stable/satellite

Examples

The Banzai Cloud PVC operator uses Satellite in order to keep Helm charts cloud agnostic. For further details please check the PVC operator.

This operator makes using Kubernetes Persistent Volumes easier on cloud providers, by dynamically creating the required accounts, classes and more. It allows to use exactly the same Helm chart on all the supported providers, there is no need to create cloud specific Helm charts.
