Project summary
Schema Driven Configuration
Project description
The paradigm of schema-driven API approaches is gaining increasing popularity as it facilitates programmatic interaction with systems by both machines and humans. While OpenAPI schema stands out as a widely embraced system, there are other notable schema approaches like YANG, among others. This project endeavors to empower users with a declarative and idempotent method for seamless interaction with API systems, providing a robust foundation for effective system configuration. SDC exposes any schema based configuration as Kubernetes resources.

Business product or service to project separation
This project is unrelated to any product or service.
Why CNCF?
SDC is an extension of Kubernetes to access YANG based systems, like AI, telecom, WIFI, campus and enterprise infrastructure. As Kubernetes is part of CNCF this is the natural choice of SDC.
Benefit to the landscape
There is a lack in the CNCF landscape to interact with YANG base systems. This is the only project which provides this functionality.
Cloud native 'fit'
SDC fits to the orchestration or provisioning part of the Cloud Native landscape.
Cloud native 'integration'
Kubernetes, SDC is an extension of Kubernetes.
