I am crazy about bare metal kubernetes clusters and gitops. I'm trying to document the process of setting one up in such a way that I can do a teach in for my friends at my local hackerspace. In the process I've determined I would like to write my own k8s enabled application (likely a daemonset for checking for a specific hardware device and configuration on each bare metal node, and storing that data in a way for k8s to use and reference later). I've been working on this any free time I get, since September, each weekend sees a flurry of activity then I spend the week daydreaming about it.
