User Testimonials
	HPE Universal IoT Platform	K3s Lightweight Kubernetes
Likelihood to Recommend	Hewlett Packard Enterprise No answers on this topic	SUSE 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Cons	Hewlett Packard Enterprise No answers on this topic	SUSE Option to deploy a self managed k3s in the cloud Support to deploy it with kubeadm Integration with prometheus & grafana Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Hewlett Packard Enterprise No answers on this topic	SUSE 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Hewlett Packard Enterprise No answers on this topic	SUSE Engineers have been able to run more microservices locally with K3s Lightweight Kubernetes instead of Minikube, which is more resources hungry Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
