RubixKube is currently in Beta. While significantly more stable than Alpha, the software is still evolving and should be used with appropriate caution. This is NOT a production-ready release. Please read and understand the following before proceeding.

​
Not for Production Environments

RubixKube Beta must NOT be deployed in production environments or on critical infrastructure.Safe for:
  • Development clusters
  • Staging environments
  • Testing and evaluation
  • Local KIND clusters
  • Non-critical cloud clusters
NOT safe for:
  • Production workloads
  • Customer-facing infrastructure
  • Revenue-critical systems
  • Regulated environments (until compliance certification)
Failure to follow this guidance may result in outages, data loss, or service disruptions.
Beta vs Alpha: Beta builds are more stable than Alpha, but still undergo active development. Features may change, and some functionality may be incomplete.

​
Safety and Guardrails

RubixKube includes multiple layers of safety guardrails to protect your infrastructure:

Observe-Only by Default

Default mode is read-only observation. Any action that modifies cluster state requires explicit approval.

Minimal Permissions

RubixKube operates with least-privilege RBAC. Never requires or requests cluster-admin access.

Full Audit Logging

Every action is logged with timestamps, user context, and rationale. Complete audit trail maintained.

Rollback Ready

All changes are reversible. RubixKube tracks configuration history for instant rollbacks.

​
Autonomous Mode Safety

When you enable autonomous remediation (optional):
  • Blast Radius Limits - Only fixes scoped resources, never cluster-wide changes
  • Approval Workflows - High-risk actions require manual approval
  • Dry-Run First - RubixKube simulates changes before applying
  • Circuit Breakers - Automatic pause if multiple failures detected
Best Practice: Start with observe-only mode, then gradually enable auto-remediation for low-risk scenarios only.

​
Data and Privacy

​
What RubixKube Collects

RubixKube observer collects:
  • Kubernetes metadata - Pod names, namespaces, labels, annotations
  • Metrics - CPU, memory, network usage, health checks
  • Events - Kubernetes events and state changes
  • Resource status - Deployment health, replica counts
All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256).
RubixKube does NOT collect:
  • Application logs or stdout/stderr
  • Kubernetes secrets or ConfigMap data
  • Environment variables containing sensitive data
  • Your actual business/customer data
  • Code or container contents
Privacy First: We only collect what’s necessary for reliability monitoring.
For Beta Testing:
  • Use non-production data only
  • Avoid clusters with PII or regulated data
  • Redact sensitive information before sharing logs with support
  • Review RubixKube’s RBAC permissions regularly
  • Use separate API keys for each environment

​
Your Responsibility as a Beta Tester

By using RubixKube Beta, you acknowledge:

Environment Safety

You are responsible for choosing appropriate test environments and ensuring RubixKube is not deployed on production systems.

Review Actions

Always review and approve proposed changes before execution. Never blindly trust automated suggestions.

Backup & Rollback

Maintain backups and rollback plans. RubixKube helps, but you own your infrastructure safety.

Provide Feedback

Report bugs, suggest features, and help us make RubixKube production-ready faster.
