A year of Kubernetes
About a year ago I thought it would be a good idea to learn a bit more about Kubernetes. We use Kubernetes as part of our server orchestration at work, and while most of it is abstracted a way, it rarely hurts to know how the various foundational layers are actually like.
At the time, I tried to set up a three-node cluster (two computers at home, one in the cloud), connected together by Tailscale (i.e. via Wireguard). This… kind of worked, but it was super chatty, and when we moved to Seattle we no longer had an unmetered internet connection.
