Kairos v3.4.0 is out and it's our most "meta" release yet. Already a meta-distribution for Linux, Kairos now takes the next step: supporting multiple Kubernetes distros, including k0s and k3s, out of the box. Welcome to Meta²: meta-Linux and meta-Kubernetes.
In this video, I'll walk you through what's new:
