k3sm

Native Kubernetes distribution for Apple Silicon Macs, running pods as real Darwin processes with no Linux VM.

Desktopfreeglobal

k3sm is a free, native Kubernetes distribution for Apple Silicon Macs that runs pods as real Darwin processes instead of inside a Linux VM, for faster local Kubernetes development. It ships as a single binary with a built-in kubectl and is explicit about what it can't do yet, including full CNCF conformance and CPU limit enforcement.
