Lightweight Kubernetes with K3s
July 9 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Kubernetes doesn’t need to be complicated or resource-hungry. K3s gives you all the orchestration power you need while staying remarkably lean. Many engineers waste countless hours and resources trying to run full Kubernetes when K3s would serve their needs perfectly. Join this class to start deploying smartly.
IS THIS FOR YOU?
- You’re a DevOps engineer looking to optimize your infrastructure footprint
- You work with resource-constrained environments like edge computing or IoT
- You need Kubernetes capabilities but struggle with its complexity and overhead
- You want to set up lightning-fast CI/CD environments without wasting resources
- You’re interested in managing multiple clusters efficiently across distributed locations
AFTER 60 MINUTES, YOU’LL:
- Know precisely when to choose K3s over standard Kubernetes using a practical decision framework backed by real-world use cases and significant infrastructure savings
- Deploy a production-ready K3s cluster in under 5 minutes using the famous one-liner installation and configure it for your specific environment
- Utilize K3s-specific features like the built-in Helm controller and auto-deploying manifests for streamlined GitOps workflows
- Implement edge-specific patterns and learn strategies for efficiently managing thousands of distributed clusters
- Feel confident implementing lightweight Kubernetes solutions where traditional K8s would be excessive.
