Ask HN: Those running K8s in house, can you please explain your architecture?
I can’t find anything about this. The project looks still active.
Perhaps it’s a confusion with k3os, a k3s operating system. https://github.com/rancher/k3os

SUSE Preserves Choice in Enterprise Linux by Forking RHEL
I still don't forgive SUSE for buying Rancher and then unceremoniously killing k3os. They just left the website up and everything, made no announcement, made no attempt to help the community take over, just left the Github repo to rot: https://k3os.io/
Hard to have confidence in SUSE's commitment to another open source operating system side project after that. SUSE's announcement at the time:
Like SUSE, Rancher is 100% open source and equally as passionate as SUSE about true open source innovation, community empowerment, and customer success. SUSE and Rancher share the same goal – happy and satisfied customers.

Any good howto set up your own full cluster?
I'm personally fond of https://k3os.io for my small to medium hobby and professional clusters. It comes with a lot the bells and whistles, but is also pretty minimum and just scales easily.

What is going on with Kubernetes Microdistros?
I really liked K3OS, but I feel like Rancher is no longer supporting it. The last commit on the k3os repo is from April, and before those three commits, November of last year. When Rancher decided to move their HCI offering, Harvester, over to RancherOS V2 being based on cOS toolkit/OpenSuse, I don't have high hopes that K3OS will be maintained.
