Deploying the entirety of Kubernetes was not the solution, but then I encountered the realm of minimal Kubernetes distributions, and after much experimentation with several providers, I chose MicroK8s to successfully build various edge computing use cases and scenarios for them.
Canonical’s MicroK8s Kubernetes distribution is small, lightweight, and fully conformant. It’s a minimalistic distribution with a focus on performance and simplicity. MicroK8s can be easily deployed in IoT and edge devices due to its small footprint. By the end of this book, you will know ...
