kairos-white-column 5bc2fe34

With Kairos you can build immutable, bootable Kubernetes and OS images for your edge devices as easily as writing a Dockerfile. Optional P2P mesh with distributed ledger automates node bootstrapping and coordination. Updating nodes is as easy as CI/CD: push a new image to your container registry and let secure, risk-free A/B atomic upgrades do the rest.

Attention!

🔦 Highlights

This is a minor release, bringing new features to Kairos!

Web UI installer

WebUI installer has been added, still marked as experimental. It allows to drive the installation directly from the browser and post your cloud config!

It runs by default on the 8080 port when booting from livecd (docs)

User data encryption at the edge

We're excited to make user data encryption available for general consumption. This means that you can now encrypt your data with ease and keep it secure from prying eyes. Encryption is done via TPM, and optionally with the Kairos KMS (Key Management Server) for external authentication and management of encrypted secrets (docs).

Additional notes

  • Alpine has been updated to track to latest (thanks @christianprim !).
  • Rockylinux has been added to releases
  • opensuse is now split into leap and tumbleweed. If you are currently consuming -opensuse images you should pick opensuse-leap flavor from now on.
  • Bundle mechanism has increased support: extend the configuration with custom, container-based deployment models (docs, examples)
  • Core images now can be used as installer for other images, see our examples.

Breaking changes

The opensuse flavor has been renamed to opensuse-leap. If you were using opensuse, use the opensuse-leap flavor from now on. There is also available opensuse-tumbleweed to track rolling openSUSE releases.
