kube32 - Kubernetes-compatible control plane for ESP32 microcontrollers

Show HN: I rebuilt Kubernetes for ESP32 microcontrollers

kube32 brings Kubernetes orchestration to tiny ESP32-S3 microcontrollers. It provides a Kubernetes-compatible control plane, a Kubelet agent, and a WebAssembly runtime, letting you manage a cluster of boards with familiar tools like kubectl and k9s over Wi-Fi or USB serial. Pods are WebAssembly modules executed by the wasm3 interpreter, with support for services, ingress, persistent storage, and peripheral access gated by a capability firewall. Whether you're building IoT devices or edge computing projects, kube32 offers a lightweight, familiar way to deploy and manage workloads on constrained hardware.
