| Why stop at K3k, should be named K3k3k in order to capture the truly recursive and nested nature of the container-in-container system? Joking aside I think this can be a great tool in Kubernetes and container eco-system. Unlike one of the sibling comments that claimed it's a very niche application, or 99.9% deployment will never ever use this nested feature, I beg to differ. Apart for testing with container-in-container arrangement, it can be a killer application for realistic simulation of network elements as has been utilized in many network simulators including ComNetsEmu and others [1],[2],[3],[4].
