Release notes

Rolling preview release

In advance of a GA release of Canonical Kubernetes, you can still install and try out the newest distribution of Kubernetes.

You need two commands to get a single node cluster, one for installation and another for cluster bootstrap. You can try it out now on your console by installing the k8s snap from the beta channel:

sudo snap install k8s --channel=1.30-classic/beta --classic
sudo k8s bootstrap

Currently Canonical Kubernetes is working towards general availability, but you can install it now to try:

  • Clustering - need high availability or just an army of worker nodes? Canonical Kubernetes is emminently scaleable, see the tutorial on adding more nodes.

  • Networking - Our built-in network component allows cluster administrators to automatically scale and secure network policies across the cluster. Find out more in our how-to guides.

  • Observability - Canonical Kubernetes ships with COS Lite, so you never need to wonder what your cluster is actually doing. See the observability documentation for more details.

Follow along with the tutorial to get started!
