Kubernetes reads like kubern-eight-es so k8s is the shorthand.
k3s is a pared down version of k8s, which is illustrated by the number 3 being chosen because it looks like an 8 sliced in half.
- redundantly 4y agoNever mind, I'm wrong: https://docs.k3s.io/ https://docs.k3s.io/ "What's with the name? We wanted an installation of Kubernetes that was half the size in terms of memory footprint. Kubernetes is a 10-letter word stylized as K8s. So something half as big as Kubernetes would be a 5-letter word stylized as K3s. There is no long form of K3s and no official pronunciation."
