k0s - The Zero Friction Kubernetes
A single-binary CNCF Kubernetes for cloud, bare metal, and edge — k0s packages a fully upstream, CNCF-certified Kubernetes distribution into one binary with no host OS dependencies beyond the kernel. It needs just 1 vCPU and 1GB RAM, supports custom CNI and runtime plugins, and offers k0sctl for multi-node, airgap, or Docker-based lifecycle management—useful for teams wanting fast, low-maintenance clusters anywhere from cloud to IoT.
