Click for: original source

Blog post by Canonical in which they do excellent job of explaining how to setup and run Ubuntu Server on a Raspberry Pi with MicroK8s on-top to provide a single-node Kubernetes host for development and testing.

Ubuntu Server 18.04 has been ported to run the Raspberry Pi 23 which means we can now run snaps and other Ubuntu applications on these devices with ease.

The post then describe in detail:

  • Hardware for the used deployment
  • How to obtain Ubuntu and flash MicroSD card
  • Initial configuration
  • MicroK8s basics & deploying a workload
  • Setting up remote access

Excellent guide with configuration which should work for future releases of Ubuntu Server and Kubernetes. Configuration code and screen grabs also included. Great read for any DevOps enthusiast!
