kubernetes-the-hard-way VS awesome-home-kubernetes

As I delved into the world of Kubernetes, I opted for what seemed like the scenic route—until reality hit. With determination and a sprinkle of naivety, I plunged into crafting a Kubernetes cluster from scratch. Little did I know, I was in for a wild ride of commands, configurations, and complexities. But fear not! With the guiding light of a course based on the notorious "Kubernetes The Hard Way" GitHub repository, albeit customized for AWS instead of Google Cloud, I embarked on my journey to build my digital fortress, one step at a time.

Another resource that I found pretty helpful was "Kubernetes the Hard Way" by Kelsey Hightower despite its complexity.

I recently published Kubernetes the Harder Way, a guide loosely based on Kelsey Hightower's Kubernetes the Hard Way, but lenghtier, more explanatory, broader in scope, and - most importantly - harder, by targeting a local machine instead of Google Cloud Platform.

How about this? It will setup a kubernetes cluster on GCP with 3 worker nodes?

Some costs here but click on the google cloud calc as it seems to have gone up since he wrote this:

If you wanna go all in: https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-the-hard-way

Oh, and both: "Kubernetes up and Running" and "Production Kubernetes" are great books.

Using Kubernetes The Hard Way is a great way to learn it deeply and quickly.

If you wanna learn it deeply and quickly, Kelsey Hightower's Kubernetes the hard way is fantastic!

Also check out the awesome kubernetes@home repo where many homelabbers share their configs.

Sorry I'm not familiar with this. Are you referring to this?

To see it in action be sure to check out my repository or the many others here.

Make it usable and link to the best place with k3s in action: https://github.com/k8s-at-home/awesome-home-kubernetes

Nice but I suggest going to https://github.com/k8s-at-home/awesome-home-kubernetes and learn from the best at this topic ;)

Check out Flux V2. It syncs a git repo with your cluster, allowing you to define your infrastructure as code. It will keep your cluster synced with your repo and detect changes. A number of example repos are Here and onedr0p did a example repo here There's many options for structuring folder, I'd recommend you have a look at a few repos and pick one you like. The linked template is a good start, as it helps avoid dependency hell with a crd folder that starts before the YAML that needs the crd defined. Many people on the awesome list also run ansible for full infrastructure as code. I spent a lot of time perfecting my setup to go from blank Ubuntu VM to my cluster with a few keystrokes. Running it in git also helps you be able to use things like renovate bot to keep versions up to date. As for namespaces, everyone had their own method, but about using kube-system. Also, keep a eye out for services that refuse to have their name space changed.
