How do you pronounce the "k3s"?

[inductor]

I remember seeing k3s can be expressed as k "ate" s somewhere on ibuildthecloud/k3s before, which is the exactly same pronunciation as k8s(k "eight" s), but I couldn't find it on any pages now 👀

Is it kates, or kes like leet language?

[clearcodecn]

k3s, 比k8s少5s

[inductor]

Guys, I'm asking how to pronounce the name. I know why it's written as k3s 😂

[warmchang]

😂 Sorry for misunderstanding your meaning, the pronunciation of "k3s" seems to require rancher official to answer.

[wbright]

maybe kbeds :) kubernetes for embeded device

[richardlewisjones]

Kubes, surely?

[inductor]

It's like lottery haha

[buschtoens]

Someone on HN suggested Kubernetres. 😂

[glikson]

Maybe like "K3", as if it didn't have an "s"?

[nijikokun]

Kes or keys

[ibuildthecloud]

I feel like the community should decide. I vote for Boaty McBoatFace.

[snow-jallen]

...wouldn't it just be k-threes? Although kubernetres is funny. 👍
k-threes fits with the whole "five less than eight" idea.

I likes "Kubes" since "K 3 (ube) S" matches what K8S (k UBERNETE s).

[inductor]

How do you vote?

[Cheau]

I vote for Kubes.
The reasons are:

1. 3-ube matches the word-building of 8-ubernete
2. Kubes is easy to pronounce and seems like an abbreviation of Kubernetes
3. it's literally meaningful to represent itself as a variant of Kubernetes

[tdensmore]

My vote is for :
"Kay" "Three" "Ess"

[06kellyjac]

Since kubernetes is Greek why not stick with the theme
κυβερνήτης (10 Letters) -> kubernetes, means Governor, Helmsman, Captain
κύβος (5 letters) -> kubos, means Cube

k8s is often pronounced as kates or k 8 s
k3s could be pronounced keys but since I usually go with k 8 s I'll probably say k 3 s

[inductor]

Looks like Kubes was the most voted?

Just wanted to speak out against "Kubes" to differentiate it from "Qubes".

At least while talking to myself I'm gonna call it tetrahedrons, because in an odd way...

Qubes : K3s
VMs : containers
cubes : tetrahedrons (there's a little less to them)

[Himura2la]

So strange that there's still no canonical pronunciation. At least the dev team should call it some way when talking about it...

P.S.: I like Kubes [kjuːbs],

[cjellick]

I've only ever heard @ibuildthecloud (the creator) pronounce it as "kay three ess" :-D

[nunix]

I mean, kube see tee hell right?
So kay three ess is the right one

[clintmod]

creator should be the final say

This is a lovely candidate for our first conversion of an issue to discussion
