Run Kubernetes locally and at the edge
MicroK8s is a production-grade, CNCF-certified, lightweight Kubernetes that deploys a single-node cluster with a single command. It’s a Linux snap that runs all Kubernetes services natively on Ubuntu, or any operating system that supports snaps, including 20+ Linux distributions, Windows and macOS.
MicroK8s is the simplest distribution of Kubernetes, and tears down the barrier of entry to container orchestration and cloud-native development. Because of its small footprint, it is ideal for clusters, workstations, CI/CD pipelines, IoT devices, and small edge clouds.
Run Kubernetes on your infrastructure of choice
Deploy Canonical’s Charmed Kubernetes, a highly available, pure upstream, multi-node Kubernetes cluster. It’s a fully automated, model-driven approach to Kubernetes that takes care of logging, monitoring and alerting and provides application lifecycle automation capabilities.
It’s tested across the widest range of infrastructure and deploys on bare-metal, private and public clouds. Along with our Kubernetes, Canonical supports a rich ecosystem of different pieces of software that can be integrated from the stack up. Canonical is one of Microsoft’s primary development partners as Ubuntu is the operating system of choice on AKS.
Have us run Kubernetes
for you
Don’t want the hassle and cost of hiring your own K8s team of experts? Get peace of mind and focus on your business, by leveraging our proven experience in Kubernetes deployments and operations.
Canonical offers a fully managed service which manages the complex operations that many may lack the skills to do, such as installing, patching, scaling, monitoring, and upgrading with zero downtime.
If you have clusters built, we can manage them for you. We can also build and manage them for you, handing the keys over when and if you’re ready to take full control.
