The container orchestration platform solves many problems but also creates new ones, so read on to find out about a new approach that can help you get just the benefits. Our friends over at [Portainer](https://www.portainer.io/) have been recently experimenting with Canonical’s Kubernetes distributions and created tutorials on how to run their container management system, which significantly simplifies the Kubernetes experience through an intuitive UI. They [started small with MicroK8s](https://ubuntu.com/blog/portainer-recommends-microk8s), a lightweight Kubernetes for edge and IoT, and then looked at more complex enterprise use cases with Charmed Kubernetes on the Azure cloud. **The following tutorial is a direct repost of the original article on** [**portainer.io blog**](https://www.portainer.io/blog/using-portainer-to-manage-canonical-charmed-kubernetes)**.** [Follow the Tutorial](https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/how-to-install-portainer-on-canonical-kubernetes?utm_source=blog) You can also follow along on youtube here: [Install Charmed Kubernetes](https://ubuntu.com/kubernetes/install?utm_source=blog) [Get in touch Interested in running Ubuntu in your organization?](https://ubuntu.com/about/contact-us/form) ## Sign up for our newsletter Get the latest Canonical news and updates in your inbox.
