Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • k3sup

    bootstrap K3s over SSH in < 60s 🚀

    There is a convenience utility for K3S called k3sup.

  • Rufus

    The Reliable USB Formatting Utility

    I burned the install media using Rufus and a USB pen-drive.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • kubernetes

    Production-Grade Container Scheduling and Management

    To set up the cluster, K3S is going to be used instead of Kubernetes due to the limited resources that the cluster is using. K3S is a lightweight flavor of Kubernetes developed by Rancher.

  • containerd

    An open and reliable container runtime

    ⚠ By default k3s will install containers using containerd. Some of the operators I'll be using later will use Docker Manifest. Docker will have to be installed as a CNI.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
