# Project: Orca
|
|
|
|
## Vision
|
|
A minimalist, offline-first, CLI-first orchestration engine inspired by HashiCorp Nomad, prioritizing stability, security, and simplicity over feature richness.
|
|
|
|
## Objective
|
|
Build a lightweight system to manage and execute workloads across a set of nodes, keeping complexity far below that of Kubernetes.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
- **CLI First**: Primary interaction through a CLI tool.
|
|
- **Offline First**: Functional without constant internet connectivity.
|
|
- **AI First**: Designed to be easily discoverable and manageable by AI agents.
|
|
- **Stability & Security**: Prioritize security fixes and bug fixes over new features.
|
|
- **Language**: Written in Go 1.25+.
|
|
- **Simplicity**: Minimalist implementation, avoiding the "K8s complexity trap".
|
|
|
|
## Constraints
|
|
- No web UI as a primary requirement.
|
|
- Must not implement K8s-level complexity.
|
|
- Feature development must move slowly to ensure stability.
|
|
- Only CI system allowed: CoreCI (git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/coreci).
|
|
- Gitea remote: git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca.
|
|
|
|
## Out of Scope
|
|
- Full-blown Kubernetes-compatible API.
|
|
- Complex cloud-provider integrations.
|
|
- GUI-based management consoles.
