  • Kubernetes best practices generally and for organizing my stuff

    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.
  • How did you really master Kubernetes?
    4 projects | /r/kubernetes | 23 Apr 2021
    This is more of less the exact path I took when diving in. I usually like to dog food anything I'm planning to use professionally and what helped alot was attempting to port my home stuff over to the k8s world. I use to have home assistant running in my house on a single RPI and it's evolved into a SOPS managed k8s cluster of NUCs easily deployable and git tracked. +1 on skipping helm charts initially, you add time but you learn alot more about what's going on under the hood manually piecing those deployments initially. One important thing is also considering upgrade strategies of all the things. Once you put something in the wild and it's used by others, that can quickly become a PITA. I'd recommend at some point in the investigation checking out https://github.com/k8s-at-home/awesome-home-kubernetes too, which is a great (awesome?) list of git ops managed k8s clusters in their community. They recently released a template that will let you bootstrap a k3s cluster tied it to a git repo that lets to leverage simple CI to action deployments to your cluster.

  • The Decline of Heroku
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 12 Apr 2021
    huge fan of k8s. drop what you're doing & use a cross-system object-storage/"apiserver" & control-loops to automate everything; embrace desired state management & thank me latter. but, Heroku &al have a lot of value left.

    there's just not that many folk trying to tame deploys on k8s via gitops. flux2 is the rage, it's all over the alpha geek's efforts[1], but it's usually used by someone carefully authoring a fairly complex Helm file, then building out a significant Flux2 HelmRelease object (ex: [2]).

    there's a bunch of other tools[3], & i'm frankly not familiar enough. but this idea of having a bunch of source that can deploy itself, simply, is still extremely rare even among the alpha-geek #gitops types. i'm sure some of these tools better match the simplicity of the Heroku model, corresponding branches to environments, which makes so so much sense, but so far i feel like such attempts are still basically unknown.

    heroku's really simmered it down to something that made extremely natural sense. huge props to that. too too much of this effort had to go into creating buildpacks & supporting language environments very very carefully very actively, that ability to stealth-containerize an app & not even notice is so much of the special sauce that makes this a hard, hard & eternal problem (because langauges/envs keep changing). there's still a lot of ease of use to Heroku that's potentially will be underrated and/or lost by the oncoming generations. i have high respect for how operateable Heroku is.
