Spin up a bare metal cluster in 2022

• k3os

  25 3,489 0.0 Go

  Discontinued Purpose-built OS for Kubernetes, fully managed by Kubernetes.

  

I (still) run k3os, but it's dead since SUSE bought rancher. (see https://github.com/rancher/k3os/issues/846)

• kairos

  21 932 9.7 Go

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

  

A bit biased maybe, as I'm the Kairos creator, but I'd really suggest to check it out. https://github.com/kairos-io/kairos is an Immutable OS that have quite a different approach, avoiding configuration management and infrastructure drifting by having real single-image, atomic upgrades and lastly cloud-init driven. The OS is treated like an app, where you just deploy and upgrade to a certain specific version (no single packages, no transactional upgrades - atomic OTA swaps)

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• rke2-ansible

  3 182 7.0 HCL

  RKE2 cluster provisioning via Ansible.

  

I have had success with RKE2 and the corresponding Ansible playbook: https://github.com/rancherfederal/rke2-ansible

• k3s-ansible

  27 1,791 8.3 YAML
  

Plus there is a pretty good ansible playbook https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s-ansible

• kubespray

  56 15,361 9.6 Jinja

  Deploy a Production Ready Kubernetes Cluster

  

• k3sup

  58 5,850 7.1 Go

  bootstrap K3s over SSH in < 60s 🚀

Personal preference, Terraform the relevant Ubuntu VM's (spec according to requirements) and then use K3 sup (https://github.com/alexellis/k3sup) and remove klipper and traefik using the relevant switches
