I was curious if we can use k8s and k3s together as it will help me in solving a complex architecture for edge computing.

I have a running k8s cluster prepared using kubeadm. For edge devices, I would like to have lightweight k3s running on them. Is it possible to use k8s cluster control plane to control k3s agent running on edge devices (embedded/routers etc)?

This kind of setup will open a lot of options for me as I'll have k8s functionality with k3s light footprint. I tried using the default token of kubeadm k8s on k3s agent node (worker) but obviously it didn't join.
