Testing Steps

1. Copy config.yaml and registries.yaml:

$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/rancher/k3s && sudo cp config.yaml /etc/rancher/k3s && sudo cp registries.yaml /etc/rancher/k3s

P.S: Remember to copy over the /home/ubuntu/ca.pem for the registry settings to work

2. Install k3s

curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | sudo INSTALL_K3S_VERSION='v1.29.6-rc2+k3s1' sh -s - server

3. Verify Cluster Status:

kubectl get nodes -o wide
kubectl get pods -A

Replication Results:

• k3s version used for replication:

$ k3s -v
k3s version v1.29.5+k3s1 (4e53a323)
go version go1.21.9

$ journalctl -xeu k3s-agent | grep 'received image event' 

Validation Results:

• k3s version used for validation:

$ k3s -v
k3s version v1.29.6-rc2+k3s1 (4a5f69fa)
go version go1.21.11
