About K3s
K3s is a fully conformant Kubernetes distribution built for edge, IoT and small servers, shipped as one binary with an embedded datastore and sensible defaults already wired up. A single shell command installs a working cluster, and additional nodes join with a token.
Strengths
- Single binary installs a conformant cluster in under a minute
- Runs comfortably on small ARM boards and low-memory hosts
Limitations
- Defaults to SQLite for a single server; high availability needs etcd or an external database
- Bundled Traefik and ServiceLB have to be disabled if you prefer your own
