Strategic Goals

“The work for k3s started as a component of Rio, an experimental project we started last year. We started seeing real demand for Kubernetes on the edge and a growing interest in k3s itself, so we decided to pull it out of Rio and make it a first-class open source project.”

Solutions Developed / Used

K3s is a highly available, certified Kubernetes distribution designed for production workloads in unattended, resource-constrained, remote locations or inside IoT appliances.
