Great article! Never stop tinkering.
Here‘s how I got to know Kubernetes:
By end of 2016, the Kubernetes hype was just about to pick up real steam. As somebody who always liked the idea of running something like an own cluster in the cloud, I attended KubeCon Europe in early 2017. The event was sold out, and took place in a venue almost too small for the number of attendees. It was great. During the event I was just about to finish the Hobby Kube[1] project. Back then weren’t any guides that addressed all the problems encountered when running Kubernetes on a budget, using low cost VPS on random cloud providers. So I dived into the subject in the second half of 2016 and started writing a guide, including automated provisioning using Terraform. I discovered WireGuard in the process of looking for a solution to efficiently securing network traffic between hosts. This still makes me feel like I was an early adopter to something that’s becoming hugely popular.
If somebody would like to add a Terraform module for deploying to Raspberry Pi, please ping me or open a PR here[2].
