This organization is the home for the interLink project, an initiative focused on bridging the gap between Kubernetes and diverse remote resource management systems. Our goal is to simplify the process of extending Kubernetes workloads beyond traditional cluster boundaries, enabling seamless execution of pods on a variety of infrastructures.

interLink serves as an abstraction layer that makes it easier to run Kubernetes pods on remote resources capable of managing container lifecycles. By providing a generic API between VirtualKubelet and provider-specific logic, we aim to:

• Simplify Plugin Development: Empower resource providers to integrate with VirtualKubelet without deep knowledge of Kubernetes internals.
• Enable Broad Resource Integration: Facilitate the connection of Kubernetes with a wide range of platforms, as demonstrated by our example plugins for Docker and Singularity (targeting remote SLURM systems).
• Foster Extensibility: Encourage the development of new plugins to support an ever-growing ecosystem of resource providers.

Our primary project is:

• interLink: The core repository containing the source code for the interLink abstraction layer, API definitions, and example plugins.

We encourage you to explore the interLink repository to learn more about its architecture, examine the example plugins, and understand how you can leverage it to integrate your resource management system with Kubernetes.

We believe in the power of open collaboration and welcome contributions from the community. If you are interested in getting involved, please:
