If you have a need to run Kubernetes at the device edge (think IOT), and are struggling to get k3s, k0s, microk8s working on such lightweight hardware (1 CPU, <1GB RAM) then we might have just the solution for you.
KubeSolo is a purpose-built Kubernetes distro built for tiny devices. Designed to run on hardware with just 512MB of RAM and a single-core ARM/Atom CPU.
It's not designed to compete with more established distros; it's intended to provide an option for running Kubernetes when those are too resource-intensive to work.
Should you run Kubernetes on your IOT hardware?? Only if you absolutely need to (your ISV only supports Kube).. else run Docker/Podman, or even just directly installed binaries...

KubeSolo, when no other distro will run.
