AKS Edge Essentials
To create a single-machine K8s/K3s Linux-only cluster using Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Edge Essentials, you can follow the quickstart guide available at AKS Edge Essentials quickstart guide.
Note
AKS Edge Essentials does not come with a default storage class, which may cause issues when deploying Dapr. To avoid this, make sure to enable the local-path-provisioner storage class on the cluster before deploying Dapr. If you need more information, refer to Local Path Provisioner on AKS EE.Related links
