AddOns

Mirantis k0rdent Enterprise is composable by design. The open source community around k0rdent has created a host of composable components that can be leveraged by Mirantis k0rdent Enterprise users -- available through the k0rdent Catalog. Mirantis and partners have also created a growing list of complete functional subsystems for Mirantis k0rdent Enterprise, available as AddOns.

Several of these AddOns are documented in this section. These include:

• Mirantis k0rdent Virtualization (kubevirt) extends Kubernetes to run virtual machine workloads alongside containers. By introducing native resource types for virtual machines, it allows you to manage VMs using the same operational tools and workflows you already use for Kubernetes resources. Features such as live migration and flexible scheduling ensure that virtualized workloads can be maintained with minimal disruption.

• Ceph provides a unified storage solution that supports block, file, and object storage within a single system. It simplifies the management of persistent volumes by automating key processes like data replication and recovery, thereby reducing the manual overhead typically associated with enterprise storage.

• The Mirantis k0rdent Enterprise UI is an optional web-based interface that runs in your management cluster and streamlines day-to-day operations by giving you a visual way to deploy, observe, and maintain clusters and services across environments without having to hand-author YAML for common workflows. It adds operational visibility (dashboard, cluster map), guided cluster/service lifecycle actions, and an (experimental) AddOn catalog, with built-in basic authentication and optional OIDC support for secure team access.

Together, these add-ons increase the utility of Mirantis k0rdent Enterprise, enabling you to tailor your cluster with the additional functionality you need—all while keeping the management process straightforward and consistent.
