Team k0s proudly presents: k0smotron v0.7.0. This release highlights two new features: client connection tunneling and the new ClusterAPI provider for “remote machines.” Remote machine CAPI provider, a.k.a ‘k0smotron Anywhere’ ClusterAPI is a Kubernetes sub-project working to provide Kubernetes-native, declarative means for provisioning, upgrading, and operating multiple clusters on various infrastructures. One of the tenets of CAPI is that it can be easily used with cloud providers and other infrastructure that is API-powered. However, there are a lot of use cases where infrastructure is not API-powered (think: bare metal servers, IoT devices, etc.). In many of these, it doesn’t make sense to invest resources into making the infrastructure API powered. ...

Team k0s proudly presents: k0s 1.28 with Kubernetes 1.28 built in. Of course, the biggest thing in this brand-new version 1.28 of k0s is support for 1.28 Kubernetes, a.k.a Planternetes. But as per usual, the team has not been just working on updating the embedded Kubernetes components. We’ve also packed in some noteworthy new features and fixes. In this post, we dive into a few of the more exciting new features and enhancements in version 1.28 of k0s. ...

Since we’ve initially launched k0smotron in June, team k0s has been busy with working on enhancing k0smotron. Today we’re glad to share that k0smotron now has pretty much full ClusterAPI support built-in. In k0smotron version 0.4.0, released only couple weeks after the initial k0smotron launch, we already added the basic capability to spin up both the control and worker planes via ClusterAPI. 0.5.0, released in mid July, came with support for Template types and thus enabling you to work with MachineDeployment etc. ClusterAPI constructs. MachineDeployments allows you to easily scale your nodes as it behaves very similarly as normal workload Deployment. ...

Container orchestration has revolutionised the way we develop, deploy, and manage applications. Kubernetes, with its rich set of features, has emerged as the de-facto standard for container orchestration. However, as the scale and complexity of applications grow, managing multiple Kubernetes clusters can be a daunting task. Today, we are thrilled to announce our latest open source project — k0smotron. k0smotron is essentially a set of Kubernetes controllers that allows you to run and manage multiple Kubernetes cluster control planes as pods within a single Kubernetes cluster. Yes, you heard it right — Kubernetes in Kubernetes! ...
