The Hivelocity Provider is a Kubernetes-native tool that allows you to manage Kubernetes clusters on Hivelocity's infrastructure.
It offers options for high availability with instant bare metal and simplifies the process of creating, updating, and operating production-ready clusters.
You can find more information about Hivelocity and their infrastructure at hivelocity.net.
Cluster API is an operator that manages infrastructure similarly to how Kubernetes manages containers. It uses a declarative API and includes controllers that ensure the desired state of the infrastructure is maintained. This approach, referred to as Infrastructure as Software, allows for more automatic reactions to changes and problems compared to Infrastructure as Code solutions.
The Cluster API Provider Hivelocity (CAPHV) is the infrastructure component of the Cluster API stack. It enables the use of the Cluster API on Hivelocity's infrastructure, facilitating the creation of stable and highly available Kubernetes clusters. This allows organizations to benefit from the advantages of declarative infrastructure and cost-effectiveness on a global scale. The Hivelocity Provider enables the creation of stable and highly available Kubernetes clusters on certified HIPAA, PCI, ISAE-3402, SSAE 16 SOC1, and SOC2 infrastructure around the globe.
With the Cluster API Provider Hivelocity, you can trust that your infrastructure is in good hands with a provider that has a track record of dynamic performance, static pricing, and a global presence.
If you want to manage Kubernetes yourself, please contact Hivelocity to set up your infrastructure.
If you have questions regarding running (production-ready) clusters with CAPHV, then ask Syself.

Please see: Versions
NOTE: As the versioning for this project is tied to the versioning of Cluster API, future modifications to this policy may be made to more closely align with other providers in the Cluster API ecosystem.
Please see our book for in-depth documentation.
Are you interested in contributing to Cluster API Provider Hivelocity? We, the maintainers and community, would love your suggestions, contributions, and help! If you want to learn more about how to get involved, you can contact the maintainers at any time.
To set up your environment, check out the development guide.
In the interest of getting more new people involved, we tag issues with good first issue. These are typically issues that have a smaller scope but are a good way to get acquainted with the codebase.
We also encourage ALL active community participants to act as if they are maintainers, even if you don't have "official" write permissions. This is a community effort, and we are here to serve the Kubernetes community. If you have an active interest and you want to get involved, you have real power! Don't assume that the only people who can get things done around here are the "maintainers".
We would also love to add more "official" maintainers, so show us what you can do!
Participation in the Kubernetes community is governed by the Kubernetes Code of Conduct.
