I was running Ubuntu 20 04 64 bit on my CM3+ units IIRC Lite units 16 32GB MicroSD cards

Dan Manners (@Cisco) · Answer

Definitely ran fine with k3s with a few things restricted from running on the Pi s but TBH it worked great AS LONG as you kept the control plane node off of CM3+ units I was running it in a VM on the same network but also tried it off a CM4 unit with a small NVMe drive Worked great for me
