Kubernetes on the Edge - Daily Check-in for July 9, 2020

Yesterday I talked about K3s a little bit. Let's take a look at what is out there for K8s on the edge.   

Why use K8s at the edge? 

  - Consistent platform for development
 - Test on the cloud, deploy to the edge
 - The power of CRDs and operators
 - Doesn't fix the hardware and true edge device issues  
 - Do we really need something on top of Linux and is K8s it?   

What's out there?
 - #KubeEdge - resource optimized, open-source, ARM or x86, cloud-edge model
 - #K3s - sub 40mb executable, ARM or x86, no cloud needed, Server and Agent model
 - #MicroK8s - canonical, pure upstream K8s, ARM or x86, single-node or cluster model
