k3s makes it easy to deploy, not to debug any problems with it. It's still essentially adding few hundred thousand lines of code into your infrastructure, and if it is a small app you need to deploy, also wasting a bit of ram
K3s is just a repackaged, simplified k8s distro. You get the same behavior and the same tools as you have any time you operate an on-premises k8s cluster, and these, in my experience, are somewhere between good and excellent. So I can't imagine what you have in mind here.

Sure. And they're all there for a reason: it's what one needs to orchestrate containers via an API, as revealed by a vast horde of users and years of refinement.

...the fact it's still k8s which is a mountain of complexity compared to near anything else out there ?
