k0s

Zero Friction Kubernetes (k0s) is an all-inclusive Kubernetes distribution, which is configured with all of the features needed to build a Kubernetes cluster and packaged as a single binary for ease of use. See the k0s docs for k0s' features.


warning

vCluster does not support dual stack networking when you use k0s. You can to deploy k0s on a dual stack host cluster, but it does not have all the dual stack features.

To use k0s with default deployment options, add the following to your vcluster.yaml config file:

controlPlane:
  distro:
    k0s:
      enabled: true
