It's not that it is less, "3" is what you get if you take the character "8" and cut it in half vertically.

- m1keil 5y agoIndeed, you are right! The explanation above was given by one of the Rancher staff members in one tech conference. It may be an alternative explanation that popped up with time. In both the point is that k3s is "half of" k8s.
