K3k: Kubernetes in Kubernetes
K3k, or Kubernetes in Kubernetes, enables users to create and manage lightweight K3s clusters within an existing Kubernetes environment. It supports both shared and virtual modes for balancing resource efficiency and isolation, making it suitable for multi-tenancy and development workflows. The tool integrates with Rancher for simplified cluster management and can be installed using Helm and the k3kcli utility.
- ▪K3k allows the creation of isolated K3s clusters inside an existing Kubernetes cluster.
- ▪It offers shared mode for resource efficiency and virtual mode for full isolation with dedicated server pods.
- ▪Resource limits and quotas can be set per cluster to prevent contention and ensure performance.
- ▪K3k integrates with Rancher for centralized management through a user-friendly interface.
- ▪Installation requires Helm and a configured storage provider, with support for ephemeral or static storage options.

K3k: Kubernetes in Kubernetes K3k, Kubernetes in Kubernetes, is a tool that empowers you to create and manage isolated K3s clusters within your existing Kubernetes environment. It enables efficient multi-tenancy, streamlined experimentation, and robust resource isolation, minimizing infrastructure costs by allowing you to run multiple lightweight Kubernetes clusters on the same physical host. K3k offers both "shared" mode, optimizing resource utilization, and "virtual" mode, providing complete isolation with dedicated K3s server pods. This allows you to access a full Kubernetes experience without the overhead of managing separate physical resources. K3k integrates seamlessly with Rancher for simplified management of your embedded clusters.
