ShapeBlock uses Terraform to spin up infrastructure in your cloud provider’s account. After the VMs are provisioned, k3s is installed on your VMs.

​
Why k3s?

It is the simplest, minimum-viable, production ready kubernetes flavour in the market. It is cloud vendor agnostic and has no dependencies on cloud vendor specific services.

​
What else is installed?

Some staple helm charts are installed: Cert manager for Let’s encrypt certificate issuer, nginx ingress controller. Local storage is enabled for persistent volume claims.

​
Epinio

Epinio is a container native application platform for Kubernetes. It is a helm chart that is installed in your k3s cluster. ShapeBlock communicates with Epinio API for the core applications and services.
