Overview
You can use Items in the EWC Community Hub to leverage technologies like Terraform Modules for infrastructure management, Ansible Playbooks for compute instance configuration, Docker Image for application releasing, Helm Charts for Kubernetes app deployment and operation, Jupyter Notebooks for data analysis, setup/operation tutorials, or combinations thereof. Deployable Items can be executed to provision or deploy resources directly, while non-deployable ones act as libraries or examples to integrate into your workflows.
Remember to always check the support level offered by the Item owner before requesting their technical assistance. This should help you set correct expectations and deadlines for your task, while respecting the time and issue review resources of the maintainers.
Some Items may offer little to no support or maintenance, but the community in general might have troubleshooting tips–ask over the peer-support channel on the official discussion platform.
If you wish to skip the docs and jump right into catalog browsing, visit the EWC Community Hub dashbord. Otherwise, keep reading to learn about:
