Mirantis has announced that its lightweight Kubernetes distribution k0s and multicluster management tool k0smotron have been accepted into the CNCF Sandbox program at KubeCon Europe 2025. K0s features a single-binary architecture that simplifies Kubernetes deployment, while k0smotron innovatively manages Kubernetes control planes as containers within clusters, reducing operational costs. "Becoming a CNCF Sandbox project will enable us to gather invaluable feedback," stated Jussi Nummelin, Senior Principal Engineer at Mirantis, highlighting the move's potential to enhance cloud native infrastructure development.
