## The smallest, fastest Kubernetes
Single-package fully conformant lightweight Kubernetes that works on [42
flavours of Linux](https://snapcraft.io/microk8s). Perfect for:
- Developer workstations
- IoT
- Edge
- CI/CD
> Canonical might have assembled the easiest way to provision a single node Kubernetes cluster - [Kelsey Hightower](https://twitter.com/kelseyhightower/status/1120834594138406912)
## Why MicroK8s?
- **Small**. Developers want the smallest K8s for laptop and workstation
development. MicroK8s provides a standalone K8s compatible with Azure
AKS, Amazon EKS, Google GKE when you run it on Ubuntu.
- **Simple**. Minimize administration and operations with a single-package
install that has no moving parts for simplicity and certainty. All
dependencies and batteries included.
- **Secure**. Updates are available for all security issues and can be
applied immediately or scheduled to suit your maintenance cycle.
- **Current**. MicroK8s tracks upstream and releases beta, RC and final bits
the same day as upstream K8s. You can track latest K8s or stick to any
release version from 1.10 onwards.
- **Comprehensive**. MicroK8s includes a curated collection of manifests for
common K8s capabilities and services:
- Service Mesh: Istio, Linkerd
- Serverless: Knative
- Monitoring: Fluentd, Prometheus, Grafana, Metrics
- Ingress, DNS, Dashboard, Clustering
- Automatic updates to the latest Kubernetes version
- GPGPU bindings for AI/ML

doing something fun with MicroK8s!
## Quickstart
Install MicroK8s with:
```
snap install microk8s --classic
```
MicroK8s includes a `microk8s kubectl` command:
```
sudo microk8s kubectl get nodes
sudo microk8s kubectl get services
```
To use MicroK8s with your existing kubectl:
```
sudo microk8s kubectl config view --raw > $HOME/.kube/config
```
#### User access without sudo
The *microk8s* user group is created during the snap installation. Users in that group
are granted access to `microk8s` commands. To add a user to that group:
```
sudo usermod -a -G microk8s
```
#### Kubernetes add-ons
MicroK8s installs a barebones upstream Kubernetes. Additional services like dns and the Kubernetes dashboard can be enabled using the `microk8s enable` command.
```
sudo microk8s enable dns
sudo microk8s enable dashboard
```
Use `microk8s status` to see a list of enabled and available addons. You can find the addon manifests and/or scripts under `${SNAP}/actions/`, with `${SNAP}` pointing by default to `/snap/microk8s/current`.
## Documentation
The [official docs](https://microk8s.io/docs/) are maintained in the
Kubernetes upstream Discourse.
