Does kubernetes work on 32 bit machine?

11/6/2017

While I was running kubectl command in my ubuntu 16.04 os which is a 32 bit machine, I was getting

cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

Can some one tell me whether kubernets works on 32 bit machine or not ?

Currently there are no ready-made binaries for 32bit systems at: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG-1.7.md#downloads-for-v1710

You can build kubernetes from source though: https://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/binary_release/#building-from-source

As a commenter mentioned, there is support for 32bit systems for the client tool, kubectl: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG-1.7.md#client-binaries
