Building from Source
Kube-burner provides multiple build options:
make build- Standard build for developmentmake build-release- Optimized release buildmake build-hardened- Security-hardened static binarymake build-hardened-cgo- Full security hardening with CGO (requires glibc)
The default builds produce static binaries that work across all Linux distributions. The CGO-hardened build offers additional security features but requires glibc to be present on the target system.
