<p><a href="https://twitter.com/iwilltry42">Thorsten Klein</a> is the creator of <a href="https://k3d.io/">k3d</a>, a tool that lets you run a lightweight Kubernetes cluster (<a href="https://k3s.io/">k3s</a>) inside a single Docker container. This makes it much easier to spin up a Kubernetes cluster in places like your dev environment, your CI pipeline, or a low-resource environment like a Raspberry Pi.</p><p>Thorsten is a DevOps engineer at Trivago, where he works on developer experience for a team that maintains a set of bare-metal Kubernetes clusters. We chat about the ways in which developers are using k3d, Thorsten&apos;s motivations and inspirations for writing it, and other tools he finds useful in the Kubernetes ecosystem.</p>
