Charmed MicroK8s Documentation

The Charmed MicroK8s Operator delivers automated operations management from day 0 to day 2 on the MicroK8s Kubernetes Distribution. It is an open source, end-to-end, Kubernetes cluster lifecycle managment on top of Juju.

MicroK8s is an open-source Kubernetes distribution. It provides the functionality of core Kubernetes components, in a small footprint, scalable from a single node to a high-availability production cluster.

By reducing the resource commitments required in order to run Kubernetes, MicroK8s makes it possible to take Kubernetes into new environments, for example:

  • turning Kubernetes into a lightweight development tool
  • making Kubernetes available for use in minimal environments such as GitHub CI
  • adapting Kubernetes for small-appliance IoT applications

Developers use MicroK8s as an inexpensive proving ground for new ideas. In production, ISVs benefit from lower overheads and resource demands and shorter development cycles, enabling them to ship appliances faster than ever.

Project and community

MicroK8s is an open source project that welcomes community contributions, suggestions, fixes and constructive feedback.
