k3OS Installation and Configurations

In edge computing contexts, companies are looking to simplify their tasks while using edge devices. Talking about the success of the K3s adoption, some industries need a ready-to-use operating system that can include an edge Kubernetes distribution. This is where k3OS fits the industry's needs. k3OS was designed to speed up the installation of K3s on edge devices.

k3OS packages all the necessary software to install K3s. This chapter explores how to use the k3OS ISO image to install K3s on x86_64 devices and how to use configuration files. You will learn from different configuration examples how to customize your K3s installations, from single node to multi-node.
