## Project history and usage

Draft is an Azure-maintained command-line tool for generating the first Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Kustomize, and GitHub Actions artifacts needed to get an application running on Kubernetes.

### Project history

The current Azure/draft repository was created in November 2021. Its README describes Draft as a developer onboarding tool for Kubernetes, replacing a blank project directory with generated Dockerfiles, manifests, Helm charts, Kustomize configuration, and workflow files.

### Adoption history

Draft's distribution through Homebrew and Scoop fits its target audience: developers setting up local Kubernetes or AKS workflows from a terminal. Microsoft Learn documents it as a Draft extension for Azure Kubernetes Service in preview, tying the CLI to AKS developer workflows.

### How it is used

Users run draft create to generate deployment files, draft generate-workflow to create GitHub Actions deployment workflows, draft setup-gh for GitHub OIDC setup with Azure, and draft validate to check manifests against AKS deployment safeguards.

### Why package nerds care

Draft is significant as a package because it packages cloud onboarding knowledge into a CLI generator: language detection, Kubernetes manifest shapes, Helm/Kustomize choices, GitHub Actions, and AKS policy checks become reproducible local artifacts.

### Timeline

- 2021: Azure/draft was created on GitHub.
- 2023: Microsoft Learn documentation for the AKS Draft extension carried a June 2023 document date.
- 2025-2026: the project published frequent v0.17.x releases, indicating continued maintenance.
