Kubernetes Distribution

Analyzing the Kubernetes distribution that's running


The distribution analyzer is used to check for known managed (hosted) and self-hosted versions of Kubernetes. The when attribute supports standard comparators to compare the result to.

The distribution analyzer uses data from the clusterResources collector. The clusterResources collector is automatically added and will always be present.

The distribution analyzer supports the following distributions:

  • aks (Azure Kubernetes Services)
  • digitalOcean (DigitalOcean)
  • dockerDesktop (Docker Desktop)
  • eks (Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service)
  • gke (Google Kubernetes Engine)
  • ibm (IBM Cloud)
  • k3s (K3s)
  • kurl (Replicated kURL)
  • microk8s (MicroK8s)
  • minikube (minikube)
  • oke (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Container Engine for Kubernetes)
  • rke2 (Rancher RKE2)
