  • kubeadm

    Aggregator for issues filed against kubeadm

  • Kubeadm is a more barebones tool, focusing on cluster node setup and Kubernetes component installation. It’s a command line tool that facilitates the various setup operations, but configuration needs to be done manually and per node.

  • kops

    Kubernetes Operations (kOps) - Production Grade k8s Installation, Upgrades and Management

  • Kops is a cluster setup and management command line tool that deploys a Kubernetes cluster to AWS. It provides configuration abstractions such as manifest YAML files that facilitate node and components configuration. And like Ansible, it will provide dry-run capabilities and ensures idempotency of changing the nodes.

  • 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.

  • k3s

    Lightweight Kubernetes

  • K3S is an open source Kubernetes distribution for edge computing devices (yes, it can run on your Raspberry Pi!). It provides a powerful command line tool for installation, node creation, and node joining towards a cluster. It provides not the same amount of options as others, but emphasizes using containerd and Flanel as core plugins. The CLI makes nodes management and updates very simple. A complete cluster can be created in mere minutes.
