Nothing wrong with toys, they’re meant to be played with.

If you deployed this to production though, the problem is not that it’s a toy: its you not understanding what technical trade offs they are making to give you an easy environment.

I can tell you’re defensive though, might be good to learn what I mean instead of trying to ram a round peg into a square hole.



You have a weird definition of a toy.

k3s is definitely fine to run in production, hence it's not a toy. You just have to understand the tradeoffs they've made, when you should change the defaults, and where it's a reasonable choice compared to other alternatives.

A toy implementation of Kubernetes would be something like a personal hobby project made for fun or to learn, that comes with critical bugs and drawbacks. That's not what k3s is.


k3s is not fine to run in production.

Do not listen to this person, and do not buy any products of theirs where they have operational control of production platforms.
