Choosing K3s vs MicroK8s for Nvidia Orin (+ Pi's)

[icordoba]

Hi,
I will shortly start a project concept based on a hybrid system using Jetson Orin and Raspberry Pi’s. I need to install a Kubernetes cluster on both (GPU is not initially required but is nice to have from the start).
I see threads here about K3s and MicroK8s… can I have any advice on what K8s solution to use considering the previous info? (Basically heterogeneous hardware [I’d like to use same K8s solution, not different ones in the Pi’s and in the Nano]), …
Thanks for any advice or experience on this.

Hi,

k8s should work on Orin.
If you need the GPU resources, please find the topic below for a known nvidia-container issue.

JetPack 6.3 containerd and kubernetes

Hi I’m trying to join our Jetson Orin ARX to our Kubernetes cluster but I am unable to get gpu support in containers running with containerd. I basically get the same error as in this thread: Nvidia-container runtime with containerd error on Jetpack 6 But the conclusion in that thread is that this error was solved in JetPack 6 but I don’t see how that is the case. The issue is not vlanx as in the thread linked in that thread, pod network works correctly with flannel. Running containers with …

Sorry that we don’t have too much experience in using Jetson and Raspberry Pi together.
You can give it a try and file a forum topic for any issues.

Thanks.
