  • elemental

    Elemental is an immutable Linux distribution built to run Rancher and its corresponding Kubernetes distributions RKE2 and k3s. It is built using the Elemental-toolkit (by rancher)

  • First rancheros then k3os now they are onto Elemental. Suffice to say none of these solutions has even lasted long enough to make them worthwhile. I say build a composable template with cloud-init and be done with it.

  • harvester

    Open source hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) software

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • kairos

    :penguin: The immutable Linux meta-distribution for edge Kubernetes.

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

  • k3s

    Lightweight Kubernetes

  • Easily create multi-node Kubernetes clusters with K3s, and enjoy all of K3s's features
