Open SourceFundedBuild secure, customizable bootable OS images for edge Kubernetes devices.
About Kairos
Kairos is an open-source edge operating system designed to transform Linux systems and Kubernetes distributions into secure, bootable images tailored for edge devices. It enables organizations to create immutable, containerized OS images that ensure consistency and security across clusters by booting each node from the same image. This approach reduces the risk of malicious attacks and supports data encryption to protect stored data. Optimized for Kubernetes workloads, Kairos integrates seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines and supports upgrades via Kubernetes, while also functioning as a standard Linux distribution.
Targeted at enterprises managing edge computing environments, DevOps teams, and IT engineers, Kairos offers flexible installation methods including QR code, SSH, and Kubernetes-based setups. It is particularly valuable for organizations seeking to deploy secure, scalable Kubernetes clusters at the edge with uniformity and ease of management. Supported by Spectro Cloud, Kairos benefits from enterprise-grade Kubernetes management capabilities, enabling deployment and scaling across diverse environments such as public clouds, data centers, bare metal, and edge computing.
