# Keel - automated Kubernetes deployments for the rest of us
* Website [https://keel.sh](https://keel.sh)
* Slack - [kubernetes.slack.com](https://kubernetes.slack.com) look for channel #keel
Keel is a tool for automating [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/) deployment updates. Keel is stateless, robust and lightweight.
Keel provides several key features:
* __[Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/) and [Helm](https://helm.sh) providers__ - Keel has direct integrations with Kubernetes and Helm.
* __No CLI/API__ - tired of `f***ctl` for everything? Keel doesn't have one. Gets job done through labels, annotations, charts.
* __Semver policies__ - specify update policy for each deployment/Helm release individually.
* __Automatic [Google Container Registry](https://cloud.google.com/container-registry/) configuration__ - Keel automatically sets up topic and subscriptions for your deployment images by periodically scanning your environment.
* __[Native, DockerHub and Quay webhooks](https://keel.sh/user-guide/triggers/#webhooks) support__ - once webhook is received impacted deployments will be identified and updated.
* __[Polling](https://keel.sh/user-guide/#polling-deployment-example)__ - when webhooks and pubsub aren't available - Keel can still be useful by checking Docker Registry for new tags (if current tag is semver) or same tag SHA digest change (ie: `latest`).
* __Notifications__ - out of the box Keel has Slack and standard webhook notifications, more info [here](https://keel.sh/user-guide/#notifications)
