  • How to distribute workloads using Open Cluster Management
    3 projects | dev.to | 26 Jan 2024
    To get started, you'll need to install clusteradm and kubectl and start up three Kubernetes clusters. To simplify cluster administration, this article starts up three kind clusters with the following names and purposes:

    Kind: is a tool for running local Kubernetes clusters using Docker container "nodes." It was primarily designed for testing Kubernetes itself but can also be used for local development or continuous integration.
  • Exploring OpenShift with CRC
    2 projects | dev.to | 13 Jan 2024
    Fortunately, just as projects like kind and Minikube enable developers to spin up a local Kubernetes environment in no time, CRC, also known as OpenShift Local and a recursive acronym for "CRC - Runs Containers", offers developers a local OpenShift environment by means of a pre-configured VM similar to how Minikube works under the hood.
  • K3s Traefik Ingress - configured for your homelab!
    3 projects | dev.to | 15 Dec 2023
    I recently purchased a used Lenovo M900 Think Centre (i7 with 32GB RAM) from eBay to expand my mini-homelab, which was just a single Synology DS218+ plugged into my ISP's router (yuck!). Since I've been spending a big chunk of time at work playing around with Kubernetes, I figured that I'd put my skills to the test and run a k3s node on the new server. While I was familiar with k3s before starting this project, I'd never actually run it before, opting for tools like kind (and minikube before that) to run small test clusters for my local development work.

    Kind allows you to run a Kubernetes cluster inside Docker. This is incredibly useful for developing Helm charts, Operators, or even just testing out different k8s features in a safe way.
  • K3s – Lightweight Kubernetes
    17 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 11 Oct 2023
    If you're just messing around, just use kind (https://kind.sigs.k8s.io) or minikube if you want VMs (https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io). Both work on ARM-based platforms.

    You can also use k3s; it's hella easy to get started with and it works great.

  • Two approaches to make your APIs more secure
    3 projects | dev.to | 29 Aug 2023
    We'll install APIClarity into a Kubernetes cluster to test our API documentation. We're using a Kind cluster for demonstration purposes. Of course, if you have another Kubernetes cluster up and running elsewhere, all steps also work there.
  • observing logs from Kubernetes pods without headaches
    2 projects | /r/kubernetes | 26 Aug 2023
    yes I know there is lens, but it does not allow me to see logs of multiple pods at same time and what is even more important it is not friendly for ephemeral clusters - in my case with help of kind I am recreating whole cluster each time from scratch
  • We moved our Cloud operations to a Kubernetes Operator
    3 projects | dev.to | 15 Aug 2023
    Unit tests were written against an in-memory Kubernetes API server using the controller-runtime/pkg/envtest library. Envtest allowed us to iterate quickly since we could run tests against a fresh API cluster that started up in around 5 seconds instead of having to spin up a new cluster every time we wanted to run a test suite. Even existing micro-cluster tools like Kind could not get us that level of performance. Since envtest is also not packaged with any controllers, we could also set our test cluster to a specific state and be sure that this state would not be modified unless we explicitly did so in our test code. This allowed us to fully test specific edge-cases without having to worry about control plane-level controllers modifying various objects out from underneath us.

  • Kind: A Modern Proof Language
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 11 Aug 2021
    The `{..}` is from `RecordWildCards`.

    I do like the omission of `let` and `where` in favor of just variable definitions. For monadic notation, instead of `get` and `return` I'd prefer something like https://github.com/monadless/monadless

    The main problem with `do`-inspired monadic notation is that it forces monadic code to always be in A-normal form, which is pretty annoying. It'd be far nicer to allow for monadic code to look the same as normal code, just with say an extra brace (such as "IO { }") to indicate that you're inside a monad.

    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 11 Aug 2021
    Well `RecordWildcards` has been around for 14 years... but even without it instead of `{..}` you'd just have `_`s. The main thing that is different is that your Kind example had nested case statements while your Haskell example tried to match everything on one shot, which makes for a non-equivalent comparison.

    > Not sure how that could work, though. Idris had an interesting syntax, but IIRC it wasn't general.

    I assume you're talking about idiom brackets for applicatives? The general syntax is given in something like https://github.com/monadless/monadless. The idea is to basically take async-await syntax and generalize it to any monad.

    So e.g. your `Maybe` example (using `!` for the equivalent of `await` for concision) would look like

      Maybe {
  • Why asynchronous Rust doesn't work
    10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 9 Mar 2021
    > If anything, async-await feels like an extremely non-functional thing to begin with

    It, like many other things, forms a monad. In fact async-await is a specialization of various monad syntactic sugars that try to eliminate long callback chains.

    Hence things like Haskell's do-notation are direct precursors to async-await (some libraries such as Scala's monadless https://github.com/monadless/monadless make it even more explicit, there lift and unlift are exactly generalized versions of async and await).

What are some alternatives?

When comparing kind and monadless you can also consider the following projects:

minikube - Run Kubernetes locally

k3d - Little helper to run CNCF's k3s in Docker

lima - Linux virtual machines, with a focus on running containers

vcluster - vCluster - Create fully functional virtual Kubernetes clusters - Each vcluster runs inside a namespace of the underlying k8s cluster. It's cheaper than creating separate full-blown clusters and it offers better multi-tenancy and isolation than regular namespaces.

colima - Container runtimes on macOS (and Linux) with minimal setup

nerdctl - contaiNERD CTL - Docker-compatible CLI for containerd, with support for Compose, Rootless, eStargz, OCIcrypt, IPFS, ...

k3s - Lightweight Kubernetes

kubetest2 - Kubetest2 is the framework for launching and running end-to-end tests on Kubernetes.

k0s - k0s - The Zero Friction Kubernetes

eks-anywhere - Run Amazon EKS on your own infrastructure 🚀

k9s - 🐶 Kubernetes CLI To Manage Your Clusters In Style!

microk8s - MicroK8s is a small, fast, single-package Kubernetes for datacenters and the edge.
