K3s-only vs Mixed RKE2/K3s Strategy in Rancher for Edge-Constrained Deployments
Goal: Determine whether to standardize on K3s for all downstream clusters managed by Rancher or to adopt a mixed approach that runs RKE2 in core/regulated workloads and K3s at the edge, while respecting limited CPU and memory budgets on branch hardware. Constraints: K3s delivers a small footprint with a single binary and SQLite datastore, fitting tightly con
