harvester-cloud

A project for deploying Harvester on cloud providers instead of bare-metal infrastructure.

Why?

To make it easy for anyone to spin up a Harvester environment for labs, testing, and basic PoCs.

⚠️ Not intended for production use.

How the repository is structured

.
├── modules/
│   └── ...
├── projects/
│   └── ...
├── docs/
│   └── ...
└── # images/, tests/, LICENSE, etc.

The modules/ directory contains templates for deploying VMs on different cloud providers (Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and DigitalOcean), along with all necessary scripts to configure Harvester.

The projects/ directory combines modules to create different deployment recipes based on specific use cases. For example, you can deploy a 3-node Harvester cluster on Google Cloud VMs or, given an existing Harvester cluster, deploy images, networks, and additional VMs.

What does the docs/ folder contain?

• Terraform CLI preparatory steps
• OpenTofu CLI preparatory steps
• Infrastructure estimated costs
