Kairos is an innovative brand that offers the immutable edge Kubernetes, a meta-Linux distribution designed specifically for edge devices. With Kairos, you can effortlessly create immutable, bootable Kubernetes and OS images simply by writing a Dockerfile. The platform also includes the option for a peer-to-peer mesh with distributed ledger, automating node bootstrapping and coordination.

What sets Kairos apart is its factory approach, which allows you to build custom bootable-OS images for your edge devices using your preferred OS (such as openSUSE, Alpine, or Ubuntu) and edge Kubernetes distribution. This means you have complete flexibility and freedom in your choices. Each node within Kairos boots from the same image, resulting in consistent systems and eliminating any snowflakes in your clusters.

Additionally, the system is immutable, running in a restricted and permissionless mode, which significantly reduces the attack surface and potential impact of malicious actors. Kairos excels in simplicity and automation, offering zero touch provisioning for effortless onboarding of nodes. This can be done via QR code, SSH, interactive methods, or even fully automated through Kubernetes.

To ensure security, the brand also provides a secure peer-to-peer mesh with VPN capabilities. Overall, Kairos is the ideal solution for creating self-driving edge devices, combining simplicity, security, and flexibility in a single platform
