> But I’d be more comfortable if k8s was a more monolithic system a la BSD. At least linux have distros. k3s is essentially a single binary and installed, up and running with a single command. With a handful of command line flags you can have a full cluster up and running with some master nodes and some agents and high availability through etcd and load balancing and network policies and ingress and distributed clouds via WireGuard/Tailscale… They also have “blessed” options (that you can generally install with a single command) for things like persistent storage, etc. I would not want to build a k8s cluster from scratch. Setting up and maintaining a k3s cluster is pretty trivial.
