Kubesolo.io, a special purpose Kubernetes distribution for IoT Devices

KubeSolo is not here to compete with k3s, k0s, or any other Kubernetes distribution. It's here because those options stop working when the hardware gets small enough.

This is not a “which is better” argument. KubeSolo exists to fill a gap no one else is addressing: bringing just enough Kubernetes to the device edge, when the device is barely capable of running anything at all.

If you’ve got 4GB of RAM and a proper CPU, use something else. K3s is brilliant. k0s is solid. MicroK8s has its place. But if you’ve got 512MB of RAM, a low-power ARM or ATOM/Pentium CPU, and you still need to run containerized workloads with declarative lifecycle management, then KubeSolo is likely your only option.

Do we recommend running Kubernetes on embedded devices? No. Not unless you absolutely need to. But for those edge environments where container orchestration is a hard requirement and the hardware is brutally constrained, KubeSolo gives you a fighting chance.

Lightweight, stripped down, and deliberately single-node. KubeSolo brings just enough Kubernetes to get the job done, and nothing more.
