Iacker is a development framework to help cloud-native developers hugging with the infrastructure as a code's world.



The goal is to implement the open features for service providers.



* **Open API**: Expose [Cloud Control](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudcontrolapi/) and [GraphQL](https://graphql.org/) API to the developer.

* **Open Provider**: Auto-generate provider code for [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io), [Pulumi](https://www.pulumi.com), [CDK](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cdktf), [KubeVela](https://kubevela.io), [Crossplane,](https://www.crossplane.io) etc.

* **Open Integration**: Create libraries for [Cobra](https://github.com/spf13/cobra), [Apollo,](https://www.apollographql.com) and software development kits for various languages.



## Introduction



### Features



* **Model-driven**: Define the resource schema by [CUE](https://cuelang.org/) and unified specification.

* **Developer-first**: All workflows in code, collaborate with others with [GitOps](https://www.weave.works/technologies/gitops/) workflow.

* **Generator-oriented**: Build your own generator using the unified specification. Many popular IaC tools are provided.



### Real-world example



> We used it to create the [Terraform Provider for Guance Cloud](https://github.com/GuanceCloud/terraform-provider-guance) and other related services and tools.

## Roadmap



All the features are described in the `proposals` folder. It is inspired by the [GRFC Template](https://github.com/grpc/proposal/blob/master/GRFC-TEMPLATE.md) used in Google. You can find the implementation status in the table below.



The proposal workflow is described in the [Guance Cloud Proposal Governance Guidelines](https://github.com/GuanceCloud/community/tree/main/proposals).



### Architecture



Architecture defines the basic concepts and principles of *Iacker* architecture.

### Protocols



At *Iacker*, we use a unified resource management framework to expose various protocols for different use cases.



Protocols describe the protocols used in *Iacker*. Please follow the protocol specification (coming soon) to add a new protocol.

### Developer Tools



Developer tools are the core of developer experience infrastructure (DXI). It provides tools to help developers build, test, and deploy their API callings.
