|
|
OpenShell uses drivers to connect the gateway to workload runtimes and
|
|
credential stores. Drivers implement a stable capability boundary while the
|
|
gateway owns the public API, authorization, workspace scoping, and resource
|
|
lifecycle.
|
|
|
|
## Compute Drivers
|
|
|
|
Compute drivers create, inspect, and delete sandbox workloads. OpenShell ships
|
|
drivers for Kubernetes, Docker, Podman, virtual machines, and Windows MXC. An
|
|
external compute driver communicates with the gateway over a Unix domain
|
|
socket and negotiates its protocol version and capabilities before serving
|
|
requests.
|
|
|
|
For built-in driver configuration and behavior, refer to
|
|
[Runtimes](/reference/sandbox-compute-drivers).
|
|
|
|
## Credential Drivers
|
|
|
|
Credential drivers store provider credentials behind opaque handles. The
|
|
gateway resolves those handles when a provider is attached without persisting
|
|
the secret value in the provider record. OpenShell includes database,
|
|
Kubernetes Secret, and Vault-compatible credential drivers.
|
|
|
|
Configure the active credential driver in the
|
|
[Gateway Configuration](/reference/gateway-config#credential-drivers).
|
|
|
|
## Compatibility
|
|
|
|
Drivers exchange peer metadata with the gateway and advertise their extension
|
|
family capability. Upgrade both peers together when the protocol version
|
|
changes. Refer to [Extensibility Overview](/extensibility/extension-negotiation)
|
|
for the negotiation contract.
