It's funny that so many people feel the need of running a virtualization technology like Kubernetes on bare metal. I did it myself with a Raspi cluster but in retrospect you are wasting a lot of time with little return while there are great solutions like microk8s or kind available that can be set up in minutes. Anyway, have fun, if you think it's worth it :)
- miyuru 2y agoI actually think running k8s in beefy dedicated servers is the way to go, rather than using VMs in a shared box, considering the overhead of k8s. (at least 1 GB memory last I checked) After a certain scale of course, no need for k8s when an app can run on single VM and barely get 1rps.
- nijave 2y agoI think bare metal makes more sense in big setups then you don't have the overhead of a hypervisor. For home setups, I think it's easier to get going with VMs since the acquisition cost and setup time is lower once you have 1 single, larger pieces of hardware to run it all on
