Same way it's done in the cloud. Immutable infra via virtual machine images.
vSphere is the fabric that connects everything, packer builds the machine images, tf/govc deploys.
To be honest though these days it's more for standing up K8S clusters, workloads are managed via kube manifests and less directly on the vm level.
- MorganGallant 6y agoI've never been a huge fan of K8s - whenever I've used it in the past, it's always made my deployments harder just because of all the overhead from K8s itself. Perhaps in a micro-service architecture spread across a large cluster it would be great, but probably a little overkill for something like this where I need to auto deploy a single binary onto multiple machines. That being said, K8s is definitely an amazing technology, and I will continue to follow it and other similar initiatives. Some of Kelsey Hightower's talks with K8s are really well done and do a great job showcasing its potential!
- gtirloni 6y agoI'd advise against using K8s for a home lab, unless it's for learning purposes.
