Customizable to Your Needs
Build custom bootable-OS images for your edge devices from your choice of OS and Kubernetes distribution. These images are delivered as container images, and can be customized and extended to your needs.
Consistent and Secure
Each node boots from the same immutable image, ensuring uniformity. It reduces the risk of malicious attacks, and with data encryption, your stored data remains protected.
Easy to Install
Set up nodes via QR code, manually, remotely via SSH, interactively or with Kubernetes. We believe in making things simple.
Optimized for Kubernetes
Kairos is optimized for running Kubernetes workloads. Upgrades can be done via Kubernetes. However, it can also be used as a standard Linux distribution.
