Production ready, easy to install, half the memory, all in a binary less than 100 MB. Great for: Edge IoT CI Development ARM Embedding k8s Situations where a PhD in k8s clusterology is infeasible What is this? --- K3s is a fully conformant production-ready Kubernetes distribution with the following changes: 1. It is packaged as a single binary. 1. It adds support for sqlite3 as the default storage backend. Etcd3, MariaDB, MySQL, and Postgres are also supported. 1. It wraps Kubernetes and other components in a single, simple launcher. 1. It is secure by default with reasonable defaults for lightweight environments. 1. It has minimal to no OS dependencies (just a sane kernel and cgroup mounts needed). 1. It eliminates the need to expose a port on Kubernetes worker nodes for the kubelet API by exposing this API to the Kubernetes control plane nodes over a websocket tunnel. K3s bundles the following technologies together into a single cohesive distribution: Containerd & runc Flannel for CNI CoreDNS Metrics Server Traefik for ingress Klipper-lb as an embedded service load balancer provider Kube-router netpol controller for network policy Helm-controller to allow for CRD-driven deployment of helm manifests Kine as a datastore shim that allows etcd to be replaced with other databases Local-path-provisioner for provisioning volumes using local storage Host utilities such as iptables/n","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/k3s-io","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/k3s-io/k3s/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
