Any Feedback On k3s.io - Lightweight Kubernetes

hi

just interested to know if one used k3s in production and get some feedback?

ehab

I have not, but I do run a full kubernetes stack. What specifically are you interested in running?

I want to install a light weight alternative to the typical main k8s stack. The k3s looks promising in terms of minimum hw.req. I just need to test it to realize that i can rely on it in production.

Do you need autoscaling?

Only around Thanksgiving.

not at this moment.

did you fall in love with linux alpine yet?

I’d say go with docker or docker-cluster.

Big advantage i have seen with kubernetes is just autoscaling up and down the number of pods you have against a cluster.

However, you are adding a single point of failure in regards to the master. Master goes down…everything crawls to a stop.

oky, suppose i want to use docker only , what do you use for container discovery:

  • consul
  • gobetween
  • traefik

what i have is 3 vm’s with different services and want to them to see each other dynamically off course. “container wise”

I may, or may not have converted my nameservers to Alpine. It works great for a tight requirement system where you don’t want to share external IPs- just as much as it enables those docker weirdos to do things.

Nginx Proxy, has Let’s Encrypt Support.

docker-compose has the ability to specify interconnections between pods.

Good Example:
