Introduction
Project Catalyst is a team working on a kubernetes cluster as a service explicitly for CI and and exploratory testing. Our current effort is upgrading Patch Demo, to use kubernetes to provision and host wikis with custom extensions and skins. The Catalyst API wraps a small kubernetes cluster. A new instance of PatchDemo will consume this API. Our next effort will be to open the Catalyst API for more general workloads include wikis which rely on (micro)services.
