Welcome to Radio Cloud Native by Mirantis, your go-to podcast for all things cloud native and Kubernetes. Join us as we explore the latest trends, innovative solutions, and open source projects shaping the modern cloud landscape. For related links and/or diagrams, please check out the resources linked in the Chapters.
k0s, k3s, and MicroK8s are all popular open source Kubernetes distributions with small footprints - but which is right for your use case?
This week, Kevin Ng, Senior Solution Architect for Mirantis, will walk you through the capabilities of each option so you can choose the tool that’s right for you. He will also dive deep into k0s (open source K8s Distro) and k0smotron (open source control plane/multi-cluster K8s management tool) - both from Mirantis - giving you the necessary background and technologies to streamline your Kubernetes operations.

A full list of topics for this week's episode include:

• Vanilla Kubernetes explained
• Kubernetes overhead (cost)
• Lightweight Kubernetes explained
• k0s vs k3s vs MicroK8s
• Choosing the right K8s Distro for you
• Why k0s by Mirantis? (deployment example)
• k0smotron by Mirantis - for K8s control plane & multi-cluster management

The teams at Mirantis are excited to announce that Radio Cloud Native is back!

It will be following a slightly different format from before, and although Eric Gregory & John Jainschigg did a fantastic job hosting, we’ve decided to give a voice to more members of the Mirantis family moving forward.

You should still expect to hear a lot of critical information about the cloud native and Kubernetes space, but rather than covering recent developments in the form of a news update, Radio Cloud Native will aim to provide more thought leadership on the most pertinent topics of the day.
