New record: I created a 300-node Kubernetes cluster in 11 minutes
This is with the new version not yet released of my tool https://github.com/vitobotta/hetzner-k3s.
It uses k3s as Kubernetes flavor and Hetzner Cloud as provider. For this test I used extremely high concurrency so the tool hung twice of the process because I was hitting the Hetzner API too hard, so I had to interrupt it again and continue.
Excluding the time it paused/hubg due to the API, I calculated around 11 minutes total for the cluster creation. This includes:
- creating all the resources (cloud instances, firewall, load balancer for the Kubernetes API)

Best way to deploy K8s to single VPS for dev environment
Try my project Hetzner-K3s, itโs by far the easiest and quickest way to create and manage clusters in Hetzner cloud. https://github.com/vitobotta/hetzner-k3s

(For Kubernetes users mainly) I need your help/advice with a business idea
Hi all, if you already use Kubernetes in any capacity or are you interested in it, would you mind spending a few minutes voting in a quick poll and hopefully answering a few questions? I would appreciate your help a ton because it would help me make the right decision and hopefully avoid a costly waste of time.
Everything is in a Github discussion at https://github.com/vitobotta/hetzner-k3s/discussions/296. A huge thank you in advance if you can help with this!

V1.1.5 of Hetzner-k3s (my Kubernetes installer for Hetzner Cloud) is out
The new release introduces more customisation options for cluster/service CIDRs, cluster DNS, updated manifests for CSI/CCM/autoscaler, and a couple of improvement for creating large clusters. Check it out at https://github.com/vitobotta/hetzner-k3s
If you are already familiar with this tool, I'd love to know how it's worked for you so far. :)

There are only 12 binaries in Talos Linux
Super cool. I always enjoy reading about systems that challenge, well, "ossified" assumptions. An OS not providing a shell, for example? Madness! ... or is it genius, if the OS has a specific purpose...? It's thought-provoking, if nothing else.
I'm a bit skeptical of parts. For instance, the "init" binary being less than 400 lines of golang - wow! And sure, main.go [1] is less than 400 lines and very readable. Then you squint at the list of imported packages, or look to the left at the directory list and realize main.go isn't nearly the entire init binary.
That `talosctl list` invocation [2] didn't escape my notice either. Sure, the base OS may have only a handful of binaries - how many of those traditional utilities have been stuffed into the API server? Not that I disagree with the approach! I think every company eventually replaces direct shell access with a daemon like this. It's just that "binary footprint" can get a bit funny if you have a really sophisticated API server sitting somewhere.

Show HN: Workout Tracker โ self-hosted, single binary web application
Where `kube.cue` sets reasonable defaults (e.g. image is /). The "cluster" runs on a mini PC in my basement, and I have a small Digital Ocean VM with a static IP acting as an ingress (networking via Tailscale). Backups to cloud storage with restic, alerting/monitoring with Prometheus/Grafana, Caddy/Tailscale for local ingress.

Gokrazy โ Go Appliances
Talos Linux basically implements their entire userspace in Go and its similar to BottleRocketOS, because it is designed to host Kubernetes.

K3s โ Lightweight Kubernetes
I've been using a 3 nuc (actually Ryzen devices) k3s on SuSE MicroOS https://microos.opensuse.org/ for my homelab for a while, and I really like it. They made some really nice decisions on which parts of k8s to trim down and which Networking / LB / Ingress to use.
The option to use sqlite in place of etcd on an even lighter single node setup makes it super interesting for even lighter weight homelab container environment setups.
I even use it with Longhorn https://longhorn.io/ for shared block storage on the mini cluster.
If anyone uses it with MicroOS, just make sure you switch to kured https://kured.dev/ for the transactional-updates reboot method.
I'd love to compare it against Talos https://www.talos.dev/ but their lack of support for a persistent storage partition (only separate storage device) really hurts most small home / office usage I'd want to try.

What kubernetes platforms do you use in your production environment?
Can't talk about work, but my homelab is Azure and Oracle managed k8s (AKS/OKE), with onprem Talos soon (Turing Pi 2). My Flux monorepo has the details. OKE performs noticably worse (update cycle, features, control plane performance), but it provides 4 ARM cores and 24GB RAM free so I can't complain
