Re: Comparing K3s with vanilla Kubernetes
#2K3s seems like a terrible name, given how people will be confused with the numeronym for Kubernetes.

#3the title doesn't make sense, it reads like "comparing Ubuntu with Linux, How Ubuntu is often the better choice".
k3s is a kubernetes distribution

What is the official kubernetes distribution called?

That's the joke, though? It's k8s, but "smaller".

#7Is there any advantage of running k3s if you want to keep etcd? I understand that most k3s performance gains come from etcd being replaced by sqlite but if you still want a HA control plane, sqlite won't cut it.

#8It was 01:30. About to go to bed. Next day would fly with my daughter to holidays.
I checked the apps of a bunch of clients. None of them loaded. I was like what...
I checked the server. Everything down.
I'd been running Kubernetes on Digital Ocean. And Digital Ocean forced a Kubernetes update that was incompatitable with mine at night.
Took me 8 hours to fix it. No sleep. Ended up moving it back to a good old VPS. And throw away K8s.
Now to be fair, I had been getting warnings with deployments. But I was used to that, Kubernetes has 10 updates per week. I dont have time to update K8S or my helm files every week.
So yeah it was my fault, but I was used to good old VPS hosting. There is an old php application I've build 5 years ago with Laravel, that never needs anything. I did some updates and patches, but it always just works.
Im used to running node on apache or nginx, even though a bit less stable, still almost never crashes.
Kubernetes there is always something. I guess there are reasons to choose it, but it's not stability.
I ended up taking the plane, and my daughter was super kind and patient. But no more kubernetes for me.

There isn't one — the official docs give instructions for kubeadm, kOps, and kubespray. k3s would be an alternative to those.

We've been using k3s' embedded etcd for as long as its existed, and it's great. Setting up the etcd cluster is dramatically simplified; let the first node generate a token and feed it to all the other nodes. Tons of other advantages to k3s; the single-binary deploy process, the built-in networking stack (which you can secure with Wireguard out-of-the-box), built-in ingress controller if you want one.
