k0s is an all-inclusive Kubernetes distribution, which is configured with all of the features needed to build a Kubernetes cluster and packaged as a single binary for ease of use. k0s fits well in any cloud environment, but can also be used in IoT gateways, Edge and Bare metal deployments due to its simple design, flexible deployment options and modest system requirements.

Features

  • Different installation methods: single-node, multi-node, airgap and Docker
  • Automatic lifecycle management with k0sctl: upgrade, backup and restore
  • Modest system requirements (1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM)
  • Vanilla upstream Kubernetes (with no changes)
  • Available as a single binary with no external runtime dependencies besides the kernel
  • Flexible deployment options with control plane isolation as default
  • Scalable from a single node to large, high-available clusters
  • Supports custom Container Network Interface (CNI) plugins (Kube-Router is the default, Calico is offered as preconfigured alternative)
  • Supports custom Container Runtime Interface (CRI) plugins (containerd is the default)
  • Supports a variety of datastore backends: etcd (default for multi-node clusters), SQLite (default for single node clusters), MySQL, and PostgreSQL
