Draft

Draft is a tool that helps developers quickly create and deploy cloud-native applications on Kubernetes. It simplifies the initial setup process, allowing developers to get their applications running on Kubernetes infrastructure with minimal configuration. The tool was developed by Azure and is written in Go, making it efficient for containerized environments. Draft is distributed under the MIT license, which permits free use, modification, and distribution. The project includes support for containers and integrates with Helm and Kubernetes ecosystems to streamline deployment workflows. Draft is no longer actively maintained, as indicated by its archived status, but remains available for developers who need a starting point for Kubernetes application deployment.

The tool addresses the early-stage requirements of cloud-native development by automating configuration and deployment setup tasks. It serves as a foundation for teams transitioning applications to Kubernetes, reducing the manual work typically involved in container orchestration setup.
