Local-First Path

For users who want to start simple and stay close to the technical base before moving to more complete solution paths:

1. Start with productive-k3s-core to install a real Kubernetes base in the simplest practical way.
2. Move to productive-k3s-profiles and productive-k3s-infra if you want curated deployment solutions instead of direct base-only work.
3. Adopt productive-k3s-cli when you want the same journey through the recommended unified interface.

This path favors learning the foundations first while keeping the door open to the wider Productive K3S experience.
