Written in describes implementation, not user-project language support. Kubernetes distribution documents Linux installation and macOS/Windows setup. ## Console’s review — 2024-11-28 Reviewed: 2024-11-28 Author: [David Mytton]() Citation: [This review]() ### 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. This review reflects Console’s assessment at publication on 2024-11-28.
