Mirantis' lightweight Kubernetes distribution, k0s, and multicluster management tool, k0smotron, have joined CNCF as Sandbox projects at KubeCon+CloudNativeCon Europe.
K0s is a lightweight, open source Kubernetes distribution designed to simplify installation and management of Kubernetes clusters. It is optimized for edge and IoT deployments and can be used for large-scale provisioning and hybrid deployments.
K0smotron extends the capabilities of k0s by providing production-grade multicluster management. It can manage any CNCF-certified Kubernetes cluster and reduces operational complexity and costs through its innovative containerized control plane approach.
By joining CNCF Sandbox, Mirantis aims to benefit from community support, enhance visibility, and collaborate with other CNCF projects, demonstrating its commitment to open source innovation and driving cloud native ecosystems forward.
