k3s
K3s is a lightweight version of Kubernetes, a system for running and managing containerized applications across one or more computers, packaged as a single small program that is easier to install. It is aimed at people running clusters on small or limited hardware, at the network edge, in testing and development, and at anyone who finds full Kubernetes too complex to set up.
How hard it is to start using it. Easy: install it like a normal app, or use it in your browser. Advanced: you run it on your own server, use the command line, or it is a tool for developers.
