Represents a k3s agent (worker) node belonging to a [K3sClusterResource](/reference/api/csharp/communitytoolkit.aspire.hosting.k3s/k3sclusterresource.md).

## Definition

```csharp
namespace Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel;

public sealed class K3sAgentResource
    : Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.ContainerResource,
      Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.IResource,
      Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.IResourceWithParent,
      Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.IResourceWithParent<Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.K3sClusterResource>
{
    // ...
}
```

## Remarks

Agent nodes run `k3s agent` and join the server at `https://{serverName}:6443` using DCP's Docker DNS. They start in parallel with the server without a `WaitFor` dependency -- k3s's built-in retry loop handles the connection timing. The cluster's health check waits for all `1 + AgentCount` nodes to reach `Ready` state before the cluster resource transitions to `Running`. Agent nodes are created automatically by `AddK3sCluster` when `K3sClusterOptions.AgentCount` is greater than zero.
