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.

Continuous Learning in Kubernetes: My Voyage of Discovery
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.

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

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?
- Anyone has experience with windows k8 ?
-
Ask HN: How to Learn Kubernetes
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.
-
Someone got some links of K8s hands-on lab for beginner to intermediate ?
Using Kubernetes The Hard Way is a great way to learn it deeply and quickly.

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!

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

K3s – 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.

If you’re interested in something not AWS check out Talos https://www.talos.dev/

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
