That's the joke, though? It's k8s, but "smaller".
What are the three letters? It only makes sense for being confusing, which is the base state of Kubernetes. "Our name is literally a complex joke about complexity" doesn't inspire confidence in a project that supposedly simplifies complexity.
Of course, other stakeholders and constraints may eventually mean that we adopt something else before it gets implemented, but K3s is what I start with for many of the same reasons outlined in this article.
the 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 would have been a better title for you?

Kubernetes is often shortened to k8s, which is often pronounced "kates," which is further shortened to k3s.
It 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. A…
Kinda off topic but what’s the actual word for k3s? We have Kubernetes k8s, addreesen horowitz a16z, internationalisation i18n, founders f6s. What is k3s?
Is 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.
But in general k3s can be HA without issue and scaled just as well as vanilla k8s. The main advantage of it is that everything comes neatly packed into a single binary whereas the alternative would mean to have a multitude of services running for cluster provisioning.
Kubernetes in the end is basically an API server with multiple componets and k3s puts a nice bow around all of them.

hmmmmm no mention of pvcs eh
You can start with a single storage node without replication and easily go from there to triple replicated storage
Been using k3s in production for nearly four years now and would recommend it to anyone. Super lightweight and easy to deploy. Opinionated about stuff I don't care about while allowing for customization of network stack, backing database, and ingress controller if you want to do it yourselves. Their embedded etcd is way, way easier to set up than a custom etcd distribution.
The fact that you can integrate existing Sysadmin Teams because they will understand that a program that runs a service with a binary and a config is all it takes, is worth its weight in gold.
They know their Loadbalancers and haproxies as well as how to provision true raid systems that are not software based which almost makes disk failure go away and maintenance really sheduleable.
