Pros

  • A one-click solution that does these things: . . . Creates Kubernetes related scaffolding for said application. . . Adds this application’s name as a kubernetes namespace across all kubernetes clusters
  • What's your feelings on Kubernetes? It does Ceph storage natively.
  • As for Kubernetes I really like the ecosystem and how easy it makes IAC and gitops... so refreshing coming from Terraform and Ansible. I love that I can blow up the cluster and get it back in about 30 minutes.
  • I also got 3 raspberry pi ( 1x RPI5 and 2x RPI4 ) where I use RPI5 as my PRIMARY Router and rest 2 rpi 4 as playground ( I am learning kubernetes and High-avaliability).

Cons

  • Other clustering solutions (such as Kubernetes) will take a lot longer to learn so you would want to develop and test it thoroughly in a lab environment before deploying.
  • Kubernetes. Sure, it'd be nice to eventually learn it, and I know this is the way to run containers with all the bells and whistles professionally. ... Not after however long it takes for me to build a famously complicated professional s...
  • if you have time and your keen do Kubernetes (k8s) I recommend looking into the slimmed down version k3s
  • It's very complicated but great at what it does. There are simpler distributions you can run at home compared to what a company would run, but for the most part, for the home it's probably overkill
  • Everything I've read said kubernetes is very not necessary for home use, but I want to learn it to add to the resume.

Kubernetes. Sure, it'd be nice to eventually learn it, and I know this is the way to run containers with all the bells and whistles professionally. ... Not after however long it takes for me to build a famously complicated professional system most people struggle learning, which can do fifty things I don't need.

Kubernetes. Sure, it'd be nice to eventually learn it, and I know this is the way to run containers with all the bells and whistles professionally. But I want to build this now, with only HA and no other fancy feature. Not after however long it takes for me to build a famously complicated professional system most people struggle learning, which can do fifty things I don't need.
