Creation of the cluster

Setting up a Kubernetes Cluster on Raspberry Pis

In a previous post, I outlined the end result of a few months of tinkering with some low-grade hardware to create a Kubernetes (K8s) cluster. This is a follow-up post for the dorks that actually want to know how it was accomplished. Preamble This is not going to be a very unique post.

Most importantly, I’ve learned the value of a managed K8s instance from a cloud provider, as there is a bunch of operational overhead to installing all this stuff that automation helps with, but doesn’t ultimately resolve. ...
