Kubernetes is a Production-Grade Container Orchestration engine. It enables developers to describe application deployments in a declarative way, gracefully scales up or down, and manages the lifecycle of the components. But despite rich functionality, it falls short in orchestrating modern heterogeneous workloads that run on geographically and technologically different infrastructure in the cloud and on the cloud edge. Diploma thesis researches solving this problem via integration with Ansible. It explores details of implementing Ansible content and researches additional benefits of integration. The most important achievement of this thesis is a new Ansible Collection sodalite.k8s, which allows the definition of application deployments with Ansible Playbooks in a safe and easy to use way.
