TrueNAS virtualization using Harvester and Kubevirt
At Harvester v1.1.2, it seems virtual machines on some AMD platforms cannot detect nested virtualization. This might relate to Harvester issue #3900, but that issue is categorized as a user interface bug only. Besides, I can run virtual machines on my Ryzen 5600G node normally (with SVM, IOMMU, and SR-IOV enabled, while /sys/module/kvm_amd/parameters/nested returns 1).
- Are there any dedicated linux distros that come out of the box with k8s?
-
🔧I tried out Harvester HCI for the homelab, and it is an interesting solution
With this being nowhere documented, I dived into GitHub issues and found #1479. I learned the bootstrap password is admin, which then allowed me to log in.

proxmox in docker or vagrant
Or with Hyper-converged infrastructure https://harvesterhci.io/

Any easy to use gui to create/deploy/monitor k8s for a devops newbie?
Have a look at Harvester if you have a unused pc. It can create a k3s cluster in vms automatically. TechnoTim has done a video about it, looks really easy. Also combines with rancher and longhorn for managing cluster a storage.

Has anyone used Harvester?
Im currently using proxmox and I want to what the community's feelings towards Suse Harvester. What are your experiences and is it worth trying out?
- Can you do infrastructure as code on non-cloud assets?

3 node kubernetes cluster - All masters?
This seems like the route, thank you for your response. u/happyColoradoDave pointed me towards harvester which should make VM management easier. Going to go with that to run VMs now.

Is anyone using kubevirt, oVirt or some "kubernetes VM" solution to fire up Windows (not linux) VM's in any reasonable number?
I assume you mean https://harvesterhci.io/

Self hosted kubernetes
Hey guys, I want to share a guide I’m pretty proud of which is talking about setting up kubernetes which leverages https://kubespray.io/#/ and https://metallb.universe.tf/ so you can host this yourself most people when spinning up kubernetes opt for k3s or get stuck with all the options or unable to setup the external ips for their services so these tools will eliminate the problem.

How to load balance highly available bare metal Kubernetes cluster control plane nodes?
Have a closer look at MetallLB.

Trouble with RKE2 HA Setup: Part 2
To avoid that, you can use a combination of haproxy and keepalived, an enterprise grade load balancer like the one from F5 or Citrix. Besides that you can also work with https://kube-vip.io or https://metallb.universe.tf.

Kubernetes and feeling defeated
Not sure if klipper is usable in a cluster with multiple nodes, as it binds to one port only. You may want to use MetalLB instead: https://metallb.universe.tf/

Own kubernetes cluster
What issue do you see with the load balancer? For self hosted clusters, one can use MetalLB for example to have such single outfacing IP which will failover to another node keeping the same IP if a node dies.

PaperLB: A Kubernetes Network Load Balancer Implementation
Quoting from their docs:
-
libvirt-k8s-provisioner - Ansible and terraform to build a cluster from scratch in less than 10 minutes ok KVM - Updated for 1.26
metalLB to manage bare-metal LoadBalancer services - WIP - Only L2 configuration can be set-up via playbook.
What are some alternatives?
