superkube

I am wondering when would you use kubernetes on oxide vs running kubernetes with kubevirt on baremetal? At first look, it feels like oxide is equivalent to proxmox or some virtualization tool, may be it uses qemu stuff underneath. Just curious. The reason I am asking this is that, we have lot onprem scenarios in our business. We are tightly coupled with k8s, to solve this we started building an internal project that is kubernetes API compatible [1] but runs containerd or WASM or our platform natively. Just curious how oxides work in this scenario [1] https://github.com/debarshibasak/superkube

I am writing kubernetes compatible single binary service for various runtimes in rust [1]. Currently supports docker, containerd, wasm runtimes. I am adding support for jvm and kvm, etc. Works as is in macos. There is mock runtime too to mock it for various testing various distributed services etc. It is a fun little experimental project.

You can pretty install it without ssh under 60s. The fun starts after it has been installed. We have been running into lot of issues at production with k3s. There I embarked on journey to writing a kubernetes compliant and equivalent platform in rust with the help of claude [1]. It is a fun little project for now, still figuring out stuff, idea is to keep it minimal and single binary every embedded including CNI, and support various runtimes like docker, containerd etc but also wasm, vms and also jvm.

I agree with operational complexity of kubernetes. That is the reason why we started writing single binary rust based kubernetes compliant platform [1]. Think of it like a minimal kubernetes rewritten in rust. Basically, you can deploy with kubectl. I like wasm idea here. I'm probably going to add wasm as runtime for this project.

I have embarked on a journey of rewriting Kubernetes into a single binary in Rust, with everything embedded. Architecturally, instead of etcd, it has options to use SQLite or PostgreSQL as a backend. I am trying to make it compatible with Kubernetes APIs, and kubectl should just work out of the box. This is not 100% ready yet, but I just wanted to show the first look. It is almost 90% AI-generated. Claude code with Opus 4.7 is being used here. It should just work out of the box on macOS with Docker as runtime.
