Edge Kubernetes: Security & Resilience
Security-compliance (kube-bench), network-outage resilience, and maintainability comparison of five lightweight Kubernetes distributions — k3s/k0s easiest to operate but weaker on security; KubeEdge/OpenYurt harden resilience at higher cost. Second chapter of the edge series; ESOCC 2025, Springer LNCS 15547
About
A companion study evaluating the same five lightweight Kubernetes distributions on security compliance (via kube-bench), resilience under simulated network outages, and maintainability. k3s and k0s are the easiest to operate but score lower on security compliance; k8s is balanced but resource-intensive; KubeEdge and OpenYurt harden security and outage resilience at the cost of complexity and resource use.
