  Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly applying to many different domains, including smart homes, environmental monitoring and health care. As a result, more and more IoT devices are being deployed in a variety of use cases. Typically, fleets of Internet of Things (IoT) devices need to be managed by a small computer such as Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA Jetson Nano in the deployed region. In recent years, the containerized technology is emerging as an efficient virtualized technology for launching and managing applications along with Kubernetes (K8s), the leading containerized orchestration tool. But native K8s is heavy for the IoT devices with limited resources. Hence, K3s, a lightweight Kubernetes, is specially designed for resource-limited devices by Rancher. An IoT device has to satisfy the requirements of K3s for initialing and joining to a K3s cluster, such as network configurations and settings on the operating system (OS). However, the K3s official documents do not support configuring these requirements. We propose a tool to automate configuring requirements and deploying a K3s cluster. By implementing and evaluating, we show that the proposed tool can deploy K3s in a fast and effective way.
