Excellent for teaching - learning and small projects of automation, robotics, domotics in industry.It has a large development community and being a free software is widely recognized and is constantly evolving.Not very suitable for scenarios where wifi connectivity is needed, in order to make use of it, it is necessary to purchase additional products.

K3s Lightweight Kubernetes is well suited for local development. K3s Lightweight Kubernetes is not well suited when you need backward support. In the case that you want to test an application that is still using deprecated APIs or CRDs which are supported on popular managed Cloud Kubernetes Distributions, because K3s Lightweight Kubernetes is trying to be a lightweight application and dropping early support for APIs/CRDs marked for deprication K3s Lightweight Kubernetes will not be a good solution. If you are trying to test Kubernetes etc, functionality, K3s Lightweight Kubernetes is not a good case since it's using Dqlite or SQLite.

Arduino has its own IDE which allows the programming of its development kits to be done quickly and easily, compared to others.

We have mostly used kind, minikube, and Docker Desktop Kubernetes for local development. Only kind has lower resource requirements, but K3s Lightweight Kubernetes seems to be even lighter. It is a big benefit to be able to deploy a K3s Lightweight Kubernetes cluster in seconds locally in our workstation, there is no cost, and it makes it easy to redeploy from scratch no matter how many times we want. The removal of deprecated APIs or CRDs also makes it more secure since it reduces unnecessarily exposed attack vectors.

Return on Investment
Arduino
  • Positive impact on teaching processes, students find their development cards attractive.
  • In projects where fast implementation is necessary, it is the best option.

SUSE
  • Engineers have been able to run more microservices locally with K3s Lightweight Kubernetes instead of Minikube, which is more resources hungry
