Groundbreaking KubeSphere Enterprise
Open, extensible, and freely integrated

Groundbreaking KubeSphere Enterprise is open, extensible, and freely integrated

KubeSphere Enterprise (KSE) 4.1 is a new cloud-native operating system built by QingCloud Technologies, which has extraordinary epoch-making significance for KubeSphere. Based on the open and extensible architecture of KubeSphere LuBan, KubeSphere Enterprise 4.1 can easily achieve upstream and downstream linkage of applications, integrate various high-quality extensions from KubeSphere Marketplace anytime, and provide seamless business capabilities and highly consistent product experience.

Using KubeSphere LuBan, From Zero to Hero

LuBan, the ancestor of Chinese ancient craftsmen, is a symbol of the wisdom and creativity of the people.
KubeSphere LuBan is a distributed, cloud-native, open and extensible architecture that provides extensions with a hot-swappable microkernel.
Hope that through KubeSphere LuBan, enterprises and developers can get a professional, versatile, flexible and highly creative development and user experience.
Since then, all functional components of KubeSphere will be based on KubeSphere LuBan, seamlessly integrated into the KubeSphere console in the form of extensions, and maintained independently. Back-end APIs and front-end projects of any third-party extensions can be dynamically embedded into KubeSphere, making a real plug-and-play application-level cloud-native operating system.
