Modules
SIGHUP Distribution is designed as a modular Kubernetes distribution.
This modular design enables to:
- Easily extend the distribution with new features when we need to.
- Use only the modules that you need. Less moving pieces equals less maintenance cost, simpler systems to understand, and a smaller attack surface.
