# Typhoon <img align="right" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/poseidon/typhoon-logo.png">

Typhoon is a minimal and free Kubernetes distribution.

* Minimal, stable base Kubernetes distribution
* Declarative infrastructure and configuration
* Free (freedom and cost) and privacy-respecting
* Practical for labs, datacenters, and clouds

Typhoon distributes upstream Kubernetes, architectural conventions, and cluster addons, much like a GNU/Linux distribution provides the Linux kernel and userspace components.
