Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Upgrading Hundreds of Kubernetes Clusters
Another resource that I found pretty helpful was "Kubernetes the Hard Way" by Kelsey Hightower despite its complexity.
- The Hater's Guide to Kubernetes
-
Kubernetes the Harder Way, on a local Mac or Linux
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.

Ask HN: Is there a low cost way to learn real K8s, after exhausting minikube?
How about this? It will setup a kubernetes cluster on GCP with 3 worker nodes?
https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-the-hard-way
Some costs here but click on the google cloud calc as it seems to have gone up since he wrote this:
- Has anyone ever tried to learn how k8s works?
-
Fastest way to set up an k8s environment ?
If you wanna learn it deeply and quickly, Kelsey Hightower's Kubernetes the hard way is fantastic!

Looking for resources to learn Kubernetes at a deep level.
As for practicing, there’s k8s the hard way and similar flavours.

How does managed kubernetes providers hide the control plane?
But if you boil down a control plane to its most essential components, it is basically a database (etcd), a webservice (apiserver) and two controllers (controler-manager, scheduler), none of which requires a Kubernetes cluster for their own needs. Self-hosting the control-plane the kubeadm way is absolutely not a requirement, you can also download the bare binaries and run them as basic systemd units out of the cluster. This is how the Kubernetes the hard way tutorial makes things work, if you want to have a look.

Linux fu: getting started with systemd
For self-hosting I've found https://k3s.io to be really good from the SUSE people. Works on basically any Linux distro and makes self-hosting k8s not miserable.

Nix is a better Docker image builder than Docker's image builder
Yes it’s going to depend on which k8s distribution you’re using. We have work in-progress for k3s to natively support nix-snapshotter: https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/pull/9319
For other distributions, nix-snapshotter works with official containerd releases so it’s just a matter of toml configuration and a systemd unit for nix-snapshotter.
We run Kubernetes outside of NixOS, but yes the NixOS modules provided by the nix-snapshotter certainly make it simple.

K3s Traefik Ingress - configured for your homelab!
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.

Building a no-code Helm UI with Windmill - Part 1
I’ve created a local cluster with K3S and installing Windmill could not be simpler with just one chart to configure, which already has sane defaults to get started. For this demo we will also configure workers to passthrough environment variables to our scripts so that they have access to the Kubernetes API server for later.
