kbind provider

This repository implements the kbind provider for PlatformMesh.io, exposing APIs from a kcp workspace to downstream consumer clusters via the kbind protocol.

Architecture

Provider side — two images from this repo:

Image	Description
ghcr.io/platform-mesh/kbind-provider-operator	Operator that manages kbind APIExports and ConnectedCluster objects in the kcp provider workspace
ghcr.io/platform-mesh/kbind-provider-portal	Angular portal UI (Luigi microfrontend) for managing connections

Consumer side — the user is expected to have the upstream kbind konnector deployed:

Image	Description
ghcr.io/kbind-dev/konnector	Upstream kbind konnector; syncs bound APIs to the consumer cluster

Guides

• Development — run the operator (go run) and portal (npm start) directly from source against a local kcp + kind setup. Use for code iteration.
• Local Deployment with Images — build container images, load them into kind, and install via Helm. Use to validate the full deployment path.
• PlatformMesh Demo — end-to-end demo: get PM kubeconfig → bootstrap → load images → Helm install. Mixes the two above into a single happy-path script.

Portal Features

• List all ConnectedCluster objects with connection status (Connected, Stale, Pending) and last heartbeat time
• Create a new ConnectedCluster: choose APIs (all or specific), generate the kbind bundle YAML, apply it to the consumer cluster, then save
• Edit an existing ConnectedCluster's API selection and regenerate the bundle
• Delete a ConnectedCluster with confirmation
