When using the MicroK8s cloud with Juju, it is important to keep in mind that it is a (1) Kubernetes cloud and (2) not some other cloud.

As the differences related to (1) are already documented generically in our Tutorial, How-to guides, and Reference docs, here we record just those that follow from (2).

Troubleshooting
Juju 3.x requires MicroK8s strict Mode
When bootstraping with microk8s following error may arise
$ juju bootstrap microk8s
ERROR “/var/snap/juju/28060/microk8s/credentials/client.config” does not exist: juju “3.5.3” can only work with strictly confined microk8s
Install the strict version of MicroK8s
