There comes a time when we get tired of installing the Kubernetes cluster with Kind, especially because Kind wasn't made to be a permanent cluster. It's great for local testing, but it doesn't scale, doesn't update easily, and doesn't keep state between reinstallations. If you want to run a new version of Kubernetes, you have to destroy everything, reinstall, and restore backups—a huge headache.

When we want to keep multiple tools running, test integrations, or use GitOps for real, the ideal is to have a persistent cluster, where you can format the host if needed, but keep the cluster up or rebuild it quickly. That's where K3s comes in.
