Deploy K3s On Micro-OS

Lightweight Kubernetes made simple

Want Kubernetes without the complexity? In just 60 minutes, you’ll build a production-ready K3s cluster on SUSE Micro-OS that’s lightweight, secure, and practically maintains itself. Perfect for edge computing, IoT deployments, or simply learning Kubernetes without the overhead of full distributions.

IS THIS FOR YOU?

• You need Kubernetes but want to avoid the overhead of full distributions
• You manage edge infrastructure, IoT fleets, or resource-constrained environments
• You’re looking to automate infrastructure deployment and eliminate manual setup
• You want to build reliable development clusters or home labs with minimal maintenance

AFTER 60 MINUTES, YOU’LL:

• Have a fully functional K3s cluster deployed on MicroOS from scratch, following step-by-step instructions with automation scripts you can immediately reuse for your own deployments
• Master automated provisioning workflows using KVM/libvirt that can provision multiple K3s nodes in minutes, complete with network configuration, SSH access, and security settings
• Be capable to implement production deployment patterns including high-availability setups with embedded etcd, external load balancer configuration, and proper security hardening
• Gain valuable troubleshooting skills for the unique challenges when K3s meets MicroOS’s immutable filesystem, saving you hours of trial and error in real deployments

PREREQUISITES

• Basic Linux command line familiarity
• Some exposure to virtualization concepts (helpful, but not required)
• Interest in lightweight Kubernetes deployments
• A computer capable of running virtual machines for hands-on practice
