k3d is a lightweight wrapper to run k3s (Rancher Lab’s minimal Kubernetes distribution) in docker. k3d makes it very easy to create single- and multi-node k3s clusters in docker, e.g. for local development on Kubernetes. Note: k3d is a community-driven project but it’s not an official Rancher (SUSE) product. Sponsoring: To spend any significant amount of time improving k3d, we rely on sponsorships. k3d creates containerized k3s clusters. This means, that you can spin up a multi-node k3s cluster on a single machine using docker.
Features
- Hot-reloading of code when developing on k3d (Python Flask App)
- Build-deploy-test cycle using Tilt
- Full cluster lifecycle for simple and multi-server clusters
- Proof of Concept of using k3d as a service in Drone CI
