    This morning (after a too short night 🍻 😝) I was able to deploy easily @Openfaas + #k3s on @CivoCloud in probably less than 5 minutes. It’s really amazing ✨Great UX job!!!

  • Luc Juggery

    @lucjuggery

    Playing with @CivoCloud #K3s #Kubernetes since the last couple of days and really enjoying it. Glad to be part of the #KUBE100 program, so many interesting discussions and lots of learning. Thanks guys, you’re building something great 👍 (+ thanks for the stickers)

  • Saiyam Pathak

    @SaiyamPathak

    Do you know first ever k3s managed cluster is out there by @CivoCloud -> its fast, sweet, simple with one click installlable apps including @Openfaas. Its even getting better day by day. @Rancher_Labs #k3s #Kubernetes

  • Tobias Brunner

    @tobruzh

    Just played around with the @CivoCloud #K3s #Kubernetes beta cluster offering and I must say it looks pretty nice. Cluster up and running in a bit more than a minute and @Openfaas installed instantly. Looking forward to see it in production. #KUBE100

  • Alex Ellis

    @alexellisuk

    Checking out managed k3s from @CivoCloud
    I like the intuitive CLI experience
    Now to create a cluster with @Openfaas and @helm with one command 🤯 #kube100 #k3s #rancher
