help Charmed Kubernetes FAQ

What is Charmed Kubernetes, and who makes it?

Charmed Kubernetes is Canonical's Kubernetes distribution for deploying and operating clusters with automated application lifecycle management. It uses Juju charms, which package operational knowledge for tasks such as configuration, integration, upgrades, and scaling.

Can Charmed Kubernetes run outside a public cloud?

Yes, Canonical's Juju model supports Kubernetes and applications across public clouds, private clouds, virtual machines, and bare-metal servers. That makes Charmed Kubernetes relevant to hybrid environments as well as Ubuntu-based cloud deployments.

How do Juju charms help with Kubernetes operations?

A charm turns operational procedures into reusable automation that can deploy, configure, integrate, monitor, upgrade, and remove applications. Canonical lists charmed integrations for components such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki.

How is Charmed Kubernetes different from MicroK8s?

MicroK8s is commonly used as a lightweight Kubernetes distribution for developer workstations, edge systems, and smaller installations. Charmed Kubernetes is aimed more at structured, multi-node operations where Juju charms manage the lifecycle of the cluster and its surrounding services.
