MicroK8s is a Kubernetes cluster delivered as a single snap package - it can be installed on any Linux distribution which supports snaps, as well as MacOS and Windows 10. MicroK8s is small and simple to install and is a great way to quickly stand up a cluster for development, CI/CD or the edge. Try it on your laptop!


snap install microk8s --classic --channel=1.19/stable
