On-Prem Deployments - How are you doing it?
At home in my Homelab I use PXE to provision bare metal nodes, and Ansible to deploy k8s on them. I know this setup isn't really used for anything yet, but I'm kinda proud of it. I can reprovision nodes at will by simply issuing one command, no monitor needed, no keyboard needed. That's the same level of comfort as a hypervisor, but it's bare metal.

What's your private cluster environment for Kubernetes-related dev
This is my new repo for my homelab and it includes a k8s.yml file, which is much cleaner and uses more Ansible roles to keep various tasks separated. So you can easily break off k8s.yml and all the k8s roles into your own repo if you want to steal it. I'm not completely done with this setup though, I'm testing FluxCD right now because I might want to ditch ArgoCD.

Bare Metal Solutions
I ended up writing my own, twice actually. Just re-wrote my entire k8s setup for my new homelab. It's published here on gitlab.com. It's not very well documented since it's for personal use but I think it emphasizes how easy it is to setup kubeadm and why there is little reason to make it more complicated than it needs to be.

Upgrading Hundreds of Kubernetes Clusters
When it came to deployment, I had several options, and I chose the hard way: deploying Kubernetes on bare metal nodes using KubeSpray. Troubleshooting bare metal Kubernetes deployments honed my skills in pinpointing issues. This hands-on experience provided a deep understanding of how each component, like the Control Plane, kubelet, Container Runtime, and scheduler, interacts to orchestrate containers.

Zarf: K8s in Airgapped Environments
Worth noting that if you like ansible, Kubespray has had documented air-gap installation since 2018 https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubespray/commit/963c3479...

How many of you are running kubernetes on prem?
About 1yr ago I ran k8s with 300 nodes using kube spray https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubespray . Never had any real issue with it. We did finally move to the cloud though.

Building your own Kubernetes distribution
We build our own distro called Compliant Kubernetes, and we use (a fork of) kubespray to install the base Kubernetes layer. Our distro is entirely open source, so you can use it as a reference, if you want.

Is being proficient in Kubernetes enough?
If you want to run Kubernetes on VM's you can look into kubespray and play around with the options for installing and checking the configuration after the fact.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing homelab and kubespray you can also consider the following projects:
ansible-role-k3s - Ansible role for deploying k3s cluster
kubeadm - Aggregator for issues filed against kubeadm
ansible-role-k3s - Ansible role for installing k3s as either a standalone server or HA cluster.
k3s - Lightweight Kubernetes
rancher - Complete container management platform
rke2
minikube - Run Kubernetes locally
talos - Talos Linux is a modern Linux distribution built for Kubernetes.
kops - Kubernetes Operations (kOps) - Production Grade k8s Installation, Upgrades and Management
hetzner-k3s - The easiest and quickest way to create and manage Kubernetes clusters in Hetzner Cloud using the lightweight distribution k3s by Rancher.
