Portal:Kubic
openSUSE Kubic is a project maintaining multiple container-related technologies as part of the openSUSE Project.
This primarily centers around Tumbleweed-Kubic, an openSUSE Tumbleweed variant focused on hosting container services. Tumbleweed-Kubic currently consists of two major components:
- openSUSE MicroOS - an openSUSE Tumbleweed based OS providing Transactional (Atomic) Updates upon a read-only btrfs root filesystem, designed to host container workloads with automated administration & patching.
- kubeadm - a Kubernetes cluster bootstrapping tool integrated as part of Tumbleweed-Kubic to run atop openSUSE MicroOS.
Variants
MicroOS
Installing the openSUSE MicroOS System Role from Kubic gets you a quick, small environment for experimenting with containers, or any other workload that benefits from Transactional Updates.
MicroOS will also soon be offered as Virtual Machine Images.
Tumbleweed-Kubic
Tumbleweed-Kubic currently offers the following supported System Roles which can be selected during installation:
- MicroOS - openSUSE MicroOS
- MicroOS Container Host - openSUSE MicroOS plus kubeadm
