# Hypernetes

## What is Hypernetes?

Hypernetes is a secure, multi-tenant [Kubernetes](http://kubernetes.io) distro. Simply put,

Hypernetes = Bare-metal + [Hyper](https://hyper.sh) + Kubernetes + [KeyStone](https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Keystone) + [Cinder](https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Cinder) + [Neutron](https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Neutron).

## What does Hypernetes do?

Hypernetes envisions the future of ***"Container-as-a-Service without IaaS"***. The idea is to combine the orchestration power of Kubernetes with [the runtime isolation of Hyper](https://hypercontainer.io/why-hyper.html) to build the truly secure multi-tenant CaaS platform.

Hypernetes also integrates with a number of OpenStack projects:

* Keystone (Authentication)
* Neutron (SDN)
* Cinder/Ceph (Persistent Storage)
