2 K3s Installation and Configuration

This chapter offers a quick, deep dive into K3s. We will start by understanding what K3s is and its architecture, and then we will learn how to prepare your ARM device for K3s. Following this, you will learn how to perform a basic installation of K3s from a single node cluster to a multi-node cluster, followed by a backend configuration using MySQL. Additionally, this chapter covers how to install an ingress controller, using Helm Charts and Helm, to expose your services across the load balancer created by NGINX. Finally, we will look at how to uninstall K3s and troubleshoot your cluster. At the end of the chapter, you will find additional resources to implement additional customizations for K3s.

In this chapter, we're going to cover the following main topics:

  • Introducing K3s and its architecture
  • Preparing your edge environment to run K3s
  • Creating K3s single and multi-node clusters
  • Using external MySQL storage for K3s
  • Installing Helm to install...
