Overview
This product has charges associated with it for seller support. This is open source software, which is repackaged by ThinkCloud. The additional cost is applicable to the extended support of 24-hour response time. This AMI contains K3s v1.34.3 on CentOS Stream 9 and includes support. It offers a pre-configured, security-hardened environment designed for immediate deployment.
CentOS Stream 9 is a Linux enterprise-class operating system that is functionally compatible with its upstream source, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). It provides a stable and secure foundation for running container orchestration platforms.
K3s is a highly available, certified Kubernetes distribution designed for production workloads in unattended, resource-constrained, remote locations or inside IoT appliances. Packaged as a single binary less than 100MB in size, K3s reduces the dependencies and steps needed to install, run, and auto-update a production Kubernetes cluster. It comes with "batteries included," providing a complete Kubernetes runtime that includes the Traefik Ingress Controller, CNI, and a service load balancer out of the box.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Lightweight & Fast: With a binary size under 100MB and low memory footprint, it is perfect for Edge, IoT, and CI/CD environments.
- Certified Kubernetes: Fully CNCF certified, ensuring compatibility with the vast ecosystem of Kubernetes tools and Helm charts.
- Secure by Default: Packaged in a single binary with minimal OS dependencies, reducing the attack surface.
- Easy Operations: Automated certificate management and simplified cluster upgrades make maintenance effortless.
- Built-in Ingress: Includes Traefik Ingress Controller by default, allowing you to expose your web applications on ports 80 and 443 immediately.
This AMI is ideal for DevOps Engineers, Edge Computing Architects, and Developers who need a lightweight yet powerful Kubernetes cluster for development or production.
Highlights

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
