As we're in the transition of replacing k3s as a container control plane with the more lightweight Eclipse Kanto Container Management, we're removing all the Kubernetes/k3s related recipes from the Leda metalayer.
We are aware that this is a breaking change of the metalayer.
However, we've been looking for an "automotive-grade", lightweight alternative to k3s and couldn't find anything. Hence we're making this decision now as early as possible and will focus on containerd-based container runtimes for the Eclipse Leda SDV stack.
We may add support for other container runtime (such as northstar) in the future, but it became clear that the Kubernetes behaviour and system requirements etc. do not quiet fit to our in-vehicle edge stack needs.
For the existing release branches (kirkstone and honister), we'll try to keep them as is, and focus our development on the main branch.
