Canonical MicroK8s
MicroK8s is pure upstream Kubernetes, not a subset. We keep it small with sensible choices that just work. That makes a quick install, with easy upgrades and great security — and leaves your options open later.
resinOS
resinOS is an operating system tailored for containers and designed for the unique realities of the embedded world. resinOS supports almost 20 distinct device types, has a robust networking and provisioning story, emphasizes reliability over long periods of operation, and enables a productive developer workflow. We’ve been running resinOS as part of the resin.io platform for years and are now releasing it as an independent operating system, so that others can benefit and contribute to running containers on connected devices.
