System Requirements
Exact system requirements will be dependent upon a lot of factors, however, for the most part, any relatively modern linux operating system will fit the bill.
Linux kernel>= 4.9.17- systemd
- iptables (optional)
Newer versions of the kernel will enable using cilium's kube-proxy replacement feature, which will replace the need to deploy kube-proxy (and therefore not need iptables also).
Dependencies
- kubelet >= 1.14.x
- containerd >= 1.2.6
- CNI >= 0.7.5
