  KubeVela is a CNCF incubating application delivery and management platform
  that makes deploying and operating applications across hybrid and
  multi-cloud environments easier. Built on the Open Application Model (OAM),
  it provides a higher-level abstraction for defining applications with
  components, traits, and policies. KubeVela supports workflow-based
  delivery pipelines and multi-cluster deployment.

    description: >-
      KubeVela uses Kubernetes CRDs to define applications using the Open
      Application Model. The Application resource combines components (workload
      definitions), traits (operational capabilities like scaling and rollout),
      and policies (deployment strategies). VelaQL provides a query interface
      for application status across clusters.
