    22  
    23  Kubernetes-native declarative infrastructure for AWS.
    24  
    25  ## What is the Cluster API Provider AWS
    26  
    27  The [Cluster API][cluster_api] brings
    28  declarative, Kubernetes-style APIs to cluster creation, configuration and
    29  management.
    30  
    31  The API itself is shared across multiple cloud providers allowing for true AWS
    32  hybrid deployments of Kubernetes. It is built atop the lessons learned from
    33  previous cluster managers such as [kops][kops] and
    34  [kubicorn][kubicorn].
    35  
    36  ## Documentation
    37  
    38  Please see our [book](https://cluster-api-aws.sigs.k8s.io) for in-depth documentation.
    39  
    40  ## Launching a Kubernetes cluster on AWS
    41  
    42  Check out the [Cluster API Quick Start](https://cluster-api.sigs.k8s.io/user/quick-start.html) for launching a
    43  cluster on AWS.
    44  
    45  ## Features
    46  
    47  - Native Kubernetes manifests and API
    48  - Manages the bootstrapping of VPCs, gateways, security groups and instances.
    49  - Choice of Linux distribution among Amazon Linux 2, CentOS 7, Ubuntu(18.04, 20.04) and Flatcar
    50    using [pre-baked AMIs][published_amis].
    51  - Deploys Kubernetes control planes into private subnets with a separate
    52    bastion server.
    53  - Doesn't use SSH for bootstrapping nodes.
    54  - Installs only the minimal components to bootstrap a control plane and workers.
    55  - Supports control planes on EC2 instances.
    56  - [EKS support][eks_support]

    89  ## Getting involved and contributing
    90  
    91  Are you interested in contributing to cluster-api-provider-aws? We, the
    92  maintainers and community, would love your suggestions, contributions, and help!
    93  Also, the maintainers can be contacted at any time to learn more about how to get
    94  involved.
    95  
    96  In the interest of getting more new people involved we tag issues with
    97  [`good first issue`][good_first_issue].
    98  These are typically issues that have smaller scope but are good ways to start
    99  to get acquainted with the codebase.
   100  
   101  We also encourage ALL active community participants to act as if they are
   102  maintainers, even if you don't have "official" write permissions. This is a
   103  community effort, we are here to serve the Kubernetes community. If you have an
   104  active interest and you want to get involved, you have real power! Don't assume
   105  that the only people who can get things done around here are the "maintainers".
   106  
   107  We also would love to add more "official" maintainers, so show us what you can
   108  do!
   109  
   110  This repository uses the Kubernetes bots.  See a full list of the commands [here][prow].

   142  ### Bugs
   143  
   144  If you think you have found a bug please follow the instructions below.
   145  
   146  - Please spend a small amount of time giving due diligence to the issue tracker. Your issue might be a duplicate.
   147  - Get the logs from the cluster controllers. Please paste this into your issue.
   148  - Open a [new issue][new_issue].
   149  - Remember that users might be searching for your issue in the future, so please give it a meaningful title to help others.
   150  - Feel free to reach out to the cluster-api community on the [kubernetes slack][slack].
   151  
   152  ### Tracking new features
   153  
   154  We also use the issue tracker to track features. If you have an idea for a feature, or think you can help kops become even more awesome follow the steps below.
   155  
   156  - Open a [new issue][new_issue].
   157  - Remember that users might be searching for your issue in the future, so please
   158    give it a meaningful title to help others.
   159  - Clearly define the use case, using concrete examples. EG: I type `this` and
   160    cluster-api-provider-aws does `that`.
   161  - Some of our larger features will require some design. If you would like to
   162    include a technical design for your feature please include it in the issue.
   163  - After the new feature is well understood, and the design agreed upon, we can
   164    start coding the feature. We would love for you to code it. So please open
   165    up a **WIP** *(work in progress)* pull request, and happy coding.
