Would you trust a post that can't even get the abbreviation correct? k8s has a meaning: in k-ubernete-s there are 8 letters between the k and the s.

  For some reason many people don’t get such abbreviations: I’ve created an internal library ‘i8r = imagesaver’, explained this abbreviation everywhere, and some 5 years later, as we are transitioning off of it, about 10% of users don’t call it i-eight-r.

    i8r doesn't work because it isn't pronounceable like k8s is

      Do people actually use k8s as k-eight-s / "kates"? I always use that pronunciation mentally myself but never heard anyone else use it.

        I personally just always use kubernetes, or just my clusters...

  oops, I literally forgot to add it, thanks for the heads up, I'll change it!

    The linked presentation also consistently uses "k8"
