Package: k3s Hello Debian Team,
We would like to have the K3s package (a lightweight Kubernetes distribution) added to Debian. For our projects, we will be using K3s for its enhanced resilience during power cuts as it offers features such as: * High availability: If one node goes down due to power cut, the other nodes can take over, ensuring system remains operational * Automated Recovery: Automatically restart and recover the workloads after a power cut, minimizes downtime * Edge computing: Can be used on devices with limited resource, where we often face intermittent connectivity and power issues Benefits for Debian community as it has many generic use cases: * Container orchestration: Automates the deployment, scaling and management of containered application. On using Docker/containerd/podman with Kubernetes creates a robust ecosystem for testing, developing, deploying, and managing containerized applications, making it a popular choice for modern software development. * Scalability: It can be used to scale applications up or down based on demand, ensuring optimal resource usage. Example: a website is hosted and if it demands increases, it can be scaled up to have less crashes if workload increases * Optimized distribution of resources * Enhanced security: On top of security provided by docker, k3s can add another layer of security by managing access controls * CI/CD: CI/CD pipeline using gitlab to automate the deployment of application using K3s cluster It will be a good addition to Debian, as users will most likely prefer to install the package from Debian APT rather than from third-party sources. Looking forward to your thoughts and feedback. Thanks & Regards, Badrikesh
