#Infrastructure Providers

Immutable Infrastructure supports multiple infrastructure platforms through pluggable providers. Each provider integrates with a specific IaaS platform to deliver cluster lifecycle management capabilities.

#Supported Providers

#Provider Architecture

Each Infrastructure Provider is an independent plugin that integrates with the Cluster API framework to manage infrastructure resources on the target platform.

#Components

• Infrastructure Provider: Manages IaaS-specific resources (VMs, networks, storage)
• Bootstrap Provider (Kubeadm): Handles Kubernetes node initialization and configuration
• Control Plane Provider (Kubeadm): Manages Kubernetes control plane components

#Provider Independence

Infrastructure Providers are versioned independently from ACP. A single-provider version can be compatible with multiple ACP versions, providing flexibility in deployment and upgrade scenarios.
