I never quite understood how developers come up with product names. k8s is Kubernetes, k0s is a quick and easy Kubernetes, k3s is a minimal Kubernetes , minikube is yet another mini Kubernetes.

Anyway, k9s is phenomenal…

Saves time while navigating the cluster.

k0s

K0s is my favourite method to quick and easy spin up a new cluster.

https://docs.k0sproject.io/stable/install/

I usually export the admin kubeconfig to give access to the cluster for k9s, helm etc \

mkdir -p ~/.kube
k0s kubeconfig admin > /.kube/config
export KUBECONFIG=/.kube/config
