Canonical Kubernetes documentation¶
Canonical Kubernetes is a performant, lightweight, secure and opinionated distribution of Kubernetes which includes everything needed to create and manage a scalable cluster suitable for all use cases.
Canonical Kubernetes builds upon upstream Kubernetes by providing all the extra services such as a container runtime, a CNI, DNS services, an ingress gateway and more that are necessary to have a fully functioning cluster all in one convenient location - a snap!
Staying up-to-date with upstream Kubernetes security patches and updates with Canonical Kubernetes is a seamless experience, freeing up time for application development and innovation without having to worry about the infrastructure.
Whether you are deploying a small cluster to get accustomed to Kubernetes or a huge enterprise level deployment across the globe, Canonical Kubernetes can cater to your needs. If you would like to jump straight in, head to the snap getting started tutorial!
