Storage - democratic-csi looked the most promising, it has worked well so far. I am using zfs-generic-iscsi against an Ubuntu 20.04 storage server. I also tried zfs-generic-nfs and it worked successfully with the caveat of having to deal with NFS file permissions.

Ideas from my kubernetes experience: * Cert-Manager is very popular and almost a must-have if you terminate SSL inside the cluster * Backups using velero * A dashboard/UI is actually very helpful to quickly browse resources, client tools like k9s are fine too * Secret: Management: Bitnami Sealed Secrets is the second big project in that space * I would add Loki to aggregate Logs * Never heard of ory. Usually I see (dex)[https://dexidp.io/] or keycloak used for Authentication * I like to run OpenEBS as in-cluster storage. * Istio isn't compatible with the upcomming ServiceMeshInterface (i think), so the trend seem to go toward Linkerd * Some Operator to deploy your favorite Database, is also a nice learning exercise.

• k3s

  292 26,535 9.6 Go

That is a pretty decent list. Keep in mind, that you'll need a decent machine to run all of this. If you are more interested in things running on kubernetes, than cluster management, you might want to look into k3s/k3d. k3s does not have etcd, but uses a lot fewer resources.
