I tried running Kubernetes on my MacBook Pro, and it was just too resource-hungry — Kubernetes relies on a lot of polling, and it was constantly consuming about half a core. (I tried out both Minikube and Kind.) Does Rancher strip down Kubernetes to make it less resource-hungry and more friendly to individual developer machines?
- mfer 5y agoRancher Desktop uses k3s[1] which is a distro of Kubernetes designed for light weight environments. I run is on a fairly new MBP and a 7 year old MBP without an issue. I also run it on a 9 year old server with low resource usage. While Kubernetes is present we want those components to use the fewest resources they need to. On Mac, all of this runs in a VM and you can control the resources given to the VM. [1] https://k3s.io/ https://k3s.io/
