K3s is a lightweight Kubernetes distribution designed for production workloads in unattended, resource-constrained environments. This recipe provides instant access to K3s for learning Kubernetes and deploying cloud-native applications.
Every EasyEnv recipe spins up in seconds on a real Linux VM-not a stripped-down sandbox. The K3s recipe is provisioned by an open Ansible role, so the machine that boots for you is reproducible, inspectable, and matches what you would get in production.
$ easyenv workspace create --recipe k3s --name k3s-demo

Connected. You're on the machine.
Learn Kubernetes from pod to production. Deployments, services, ingress, Helm, scaling, RBAC, and observability.
Stop guessing from resumes. Drop candidates into a real K3s workspace, watch them debug, deploy and operate it, score the result automatically, and replay the session. We also evaluate how they work with AI.
Designs and manages cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure, or GCP, focusing on scalability and cost optimization
