sysadmin skills will definitely help if you install kubernetes (for example, on a bare metal cluster.) Operating / managing k8s is definitely its own world though. FYI, I do run k8s at home, in my home lab.
- bediger4000 4y agoHey good for you! What did you install, and how did you install it? I did a 4 raspberry pi "cluster" last year, but I couldn't figure out what to run on it after a few test pods, so I disassembled it.
- icedchai 4y agoI have 2 clusters, a bare metal cluster running on ARM SBCs (6x "Rock64" boards), and a 6x VM cluster run on Debian. I have a ton of spare hardware capacity, you could say. I'm not running much on it, just some postgres instances, ceph storage, grafana dashboards, and some custom apps. I installed it from scratch with kubeadm. I'm using calico for networking, and metallb for load balancing. The clusters are set up for HA, using haproxy.
