Kubernetes Linux Support

Kubernetes Linux Support for Embedded & Enterprise Systems

Embedded Linux Enterprise Linux

MVKube is MontaVista's commercial support programme for Kubernetes running on Linux: a validated cluster baseline, security-focused configuration guidance, and long-term maintenance for deployments where controlled change matters more than tracking every upstream release.

In embedded and edge systems, MVKube supports constrained hardware, custom BSPs and device lifecycles measured in years, running on CGX Linux.

In enterprise estates, MVKube aligns with CentOS, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux and custom Linux baselines, including air-gapped and regulated environments.

  • Two lifecycle paths: maintain the current baseline with backported fixes, or move to newer stable releases with upgrade guidance
  • Covers the cluster, container runtime, ingress, service mesh, observability and the Linux layer beneath
  • Supports edge, on-premise, hybrid and air-gapped deployments
