Get Up & Running with K0s - A Lightweight Kubernetes Distro Mirantis Labs - Tech Talks

Course Overview

This course provides an overview of Mirantis Labs' lightweight Kubernetes distro, k0s. Participants will learn about the minimum system requirements for k0s, how to manually install k0s, and how to deploy an application on a k0s cluster. The course will also cover automated deployment with k0s Scale, environment options for k0s, and the Docker Desktop Lens extension. Live Q&A sessions will address questions such as whether k0s requires a license to use, how it is similar to Kube Admin, and what is actually being deployed with k0s. Finally, the course will provide a look ahead at next week's talk.

[Applications]
After this course, participants should be able to apply the knowledge they have gained to deploy a k0s cluster and deploy applications on it. They should also be able to use the Docker Desktop Lens extension to get started with k0s. Additionally, participants should be aware of the environment options available for k0s and the minimum system requirements for k0s.
