Removes non-standard features
All of the non-v1 features are removed in K3s, along with vendor-specific extensions, making it smaller.

Capuccino 's Experience
Designed to be light, and secure, K3s removes the bloat of non-standard features and packages all of its dependencies into a single binary of 40MB in size. It requires only half a GB of memory, making it the lightest Kubernetes distribution to date - surpassing Hyperkube.

No requirement for Docker
Unlike most distributions, K3s does not rely on Docker, it is optional. K3s has its own runtime packaged, which is containerd.

No dependencies
K3s requires you only to run the binary, nothing more. You just need a sane kernel.

Lightweight
With 40MB binary size, and with 512MB memory requirement, K3s is the only distribution that has surpassed Hyperkube as the smallest distribution and surpassed all enterprise distributions in efficiency.

You don't need a PhD in Kubernetes clusterology
Kubernetes architecture feels like you'd need a course for it soon, but K3s removes this strain, making it the easiest Kubernetes distribution to use.

Not reliant to etcd3
K3s uses SQLite3 in place of etcd. However, you can specify etcd again if you want to use it.
