[KubeSphere](https://kubesphere.io/) is a **distributed operating system providing cloud native stack** with [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io) as its kernel, and aims to be plug-and-play architecture for third-party applications seamless integration to boost its ecosystem. KubeSphere is also a multi-tenant enterprise-grade container platform with full-stack automated IT operation and streamlined DevOps workflows. It provides developer-friendly wizard web UI, helping enterprises to build out a more robust and feature-rich platform, which includes most common functionalities needed for enterprise Kubernetes strategy, see [Feature list](#features) for details.

## Architecture
KubeSphere uses a loosely-coupled architecture that separates the [frontend](https://github.com/kubesphere/console) from the [backend](https://github.com/kubesphere/kubesphere), the back end can also be connected with external systems through the REST API, all components are designed as Docker containers. See [Architecture](https://kubesphere.io/docs/v2.1/en/introduction/architecture/) for details.
