kairos VS edgevpn

I've been eyeing Kairos [1] which is an OS lifecycle management system for k3s which looks like a nice way to deploy k3s.

https://github.com/kairos-io/kairos updates!

kairos.io – Turn your existing distro into an immutable OS with k8s. It is the logical successor of what k3os intended (kind of).

Check out this TNS blog and Kairos blog about the Kairos project. It is a meta distribution, which addresses the issues around immutable distros at a more fundamental level while providing much more flexibility.

Kairos could fit the bill here - I don't think it supports Windows but it does have a cool Network Boot project called AuroraBoot.

kairos.io

Did you heard about https://github.com/kairos-io/kairos ? It supports any base OS (Fedora, openSUSE, Alpine, Rockylinux, Ubuntu, ..), and follows strongly the same K3OS principles. It is immutable, with an A/B upgrading mechanism and it is container based so it is easy to customize to fit your needs. It is community-driven, with no strings attached to any distribution or vendor.

Yes Kairos. KaiOS is a mobile Linux distribution unrelated to Kubernetes.

up to now we have MetalLB and Kubevirt, but here is a list of the ones that were brought up by the community (and planning to add): https://github.com/kairos-io/kairos/issues/592, feel free to add your feedback and tell what you would like to see there!

EdgeVPN

I've been using a project of mine which creates VPN network via P2P without central servers, based on libp2p. It's this one: https://github.com/mudler/edgevpn it offers an API for coordinating nodes which is leveraged to setup automatically k3s. The heavy lifting is actually done there.

I've assembled https://github.com/mudler/edgevpn - it's a dead simple/no frill VPN based on libp2p, where the routing table is shared as a blockchain. The configuration is really straightforward, where you share the same config between nodes, or even just via token. (I find it extremely useful for CI and testing)
