Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Easy to get started with a production-ready k8s cluster, locally (can run in a Multipass VM directly on your system) or in the cloud. Configures core components out of the box. One command to have other nodes join the cluster to provide HA. Command to quickly install other components e.g. dashboard.

Tradeoffs

Ships as a single command, but it’s a set of Python scripts behind the scenes. Would be nicer as a single binary, but probably not possible because it’s orchestrating vanilla k8s.
