I have no problems with running Kubernetes on my Guix Systems, but you
need a knowledge of managing it's core components, because you probably
cannot relly of Kubernetes components deploy tools which most of the
time support only specific operating systems. In short you need:

- containerd
- kubelet with static pods
  - /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd.yaml
  - /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml
  - /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-controller-manager.yaml
  - /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml

you can take an example of config in my git repository, but it's kinda
dirty and probably you should do everything from scratch yourself
