大小仅有40MB的k3s为想要节省开销进行开发和测试的企业提供了一个很好的选择。本文将用一种极为简洁的方式，教你在5分钟之内使用k3s部署轻量Kubernetes集群。
Kubernetes已经改变了如何大规模部署和管理容器化工作负载。现在开发人员面临的挑战主要在于设置过程的复杂性和资源需求量巨大。如果你深受内存不足的困扰，想要部署轻量级Kubernetes集群来减少内存占用，那么你一定要考虑由Rancher Labs发布的轻量级Kubernetes发行版——k3s。它把安装Kubernetes所需的一切文件都打包进一个40MB大小的二进制文件中，仅需512MB的RAM即可运行。非常适用于资源有限的环境，如边缘计算场景、IoT等。
在实际场景中，为了获得开发和测试的动力，节省开销，用户希望能够以最少的资源利用率和较低的硬件规格来部署Kubernetes。而k3s正好满足了这一需求，它能够在任何512MB RAM以上的设备上运行集群，如IoT设备或ARM驱动的设备。
既然k3s仅需少量资源即可运行，那么这意味着一些Kubernetes的特性被移除了：
旧的、非默认的、alpha功能
大部分in-tree插件（云提供商和存储插件），将其用附加组件进行替换
用sqlite来代替etcd作为默认存储机制
5分钟之内使用k3s部署轻量K8s集群
在本文中，我将使用运行在Debian 10上的3个server，每个server有1GB的RAM和1vcpu。其中一个server作为master，其他两个作为worker节点。
$ openstack server list
+--------------------------------------+-------------------+---------+-----------------------------------+-----------+-----------+
| ID | Name | Status | Networks | Image | Flavor |
+--------------------------------------+-------------------+---------+-----------------------------------+-----------+-----------+
| 4df6a6dc-26e8-4ae0-8b6e-2f97daec0ef3 | k3s-master | ACTIVE | private=10.10.1.159 | Debian-10 | m1.tiny |
| 5ca13239-b745-4f62-ab11-0a27949c9b35 | k3s-node02 | ACTIVE | private=10.10.1.142 | Debian-10 | m1.tiny |

+--------------------------------------+-------------------+---------+-----------------------------------+-----------+-----------+
我将在每个服务器的/ etc / hosts文件中为服务器添加A record。
sudo tee -a /etc/hosts<<EOF
10.10.1.159 k3s-master
10.10.1.126 k3s-node01
10.10.1.142 k3s-node02
EOF
在Master节点上安装k3s
运行k3s的方式有很多，最快的方式是通过提供的bash脚本进行安装，同时该脚本提供了一个便捷的方式来安装到systemd或openrc。
curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | sh -

其他已经安装的有：

在Worker节点上安装k3s
要在Woker节点上安装k3s，我们应该将K3S_URL以及K3S_TOKEN或K3S_CLUSTER_SECRET环境变量一起传递。
K3S_TOKEN在第一个节点上的/ var / lib / rancher / k3s / server / node-token中创建。
$ sudo cat /var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/node-token
K1042e2f8e353b9409472c1e0cca8457abe184dc7be3f0805109e92c50c193ceb42::node:c83acbf89a7de7026d6f6928dc270028
所以为了在worker节点上安装Kubernetes，我将运行：
k3s_url="https://k3s-master:6443"
k3s_token="K1042e2f8e353b9409472c1e0cca8457abe184dc7be3f0805109e92c50c193ceb42::node:c83acbf89a7de7026d6f6928dc270028"
curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | K3S_URL=${k3s_url} K3S_TOKEN=${k3s_token} sh -
