  • Kubernetes: Multi-cluster communication with Flomesh Service Mesh (Part 2)
    5 projects | dev.to | 2 Dec 2022
    In this demo, we will be using k3d a lightweight wrapper to run k3s (Rancher Lab’s minimal Kubernetes distribution) in docker, to create 4 separate clusters named control-plane, cluster-1, cluster-2, and cluster-3 respectively.

    To run the demo locally, we recommend k3d a lightweight wrapper to run k3s (Rancher Lab’s minimal Kubernetes distribution) in docker.
  • When a node goes down, how long should k8s wait before migrating pods to other nodes?
    1 project | /r/kubernetes | 9 Sep 2022
    I've been messing around with k8s (k3s) lately, and got to the "issue" of downtime/inconsistencies caused by one of multiple workers being down, who had pods running on them. I found a couple useful parameters here that helped me reduce the time needed to redeploy the old pods on other nodes, as well as stop sending requests to the NotReady node. But that got me thinking, how long should k8s wait before doing these things? Or is there perhaps a better option for increasing avaliability?
  • Kubernetes Development Environments – A Comparison
    5 projects | dev.to | 16 Jun 2022
    Local Kubernetes clusters are clusters that are running on the individual computer of the developer. There are many tools that provide such an environment, such as Minikube, microk8s, k3s, or kind. While they are not all the same, their use as a development environment is quite comparable.
  • Local Cluster vs. Remote Cluster for Kubernetes-Based Development
    5 projects | dev.to | 16 Jun 2022
    Since the developer is the only one who has to access this cluster for development, local clusters can be a feasible solution for this purpose. Over time, several solutions have emerged that are particularly made for running Kubernetes in local environments. The most important ones are Kubernetes in Docker (kind), MicroK8s, minikube and k3s. For a comparison of these local Kubernetes options, you can look at this post.
  • Kubernetes: Virtual Clusters As Development Environments
    5 projects | dev.to | 16 Jun 2022
    With local Kubernetes environments such as minikube or k3s, developers can create their own Kubernetes clusters on their local computers. This often leads to developers struggling with the management and setup of these pared-down Kubernetes technologies that are also not completely realistic compared to “real-world”, cloud-based environments. The upside of this approach is that the developers have full control over their environment and can independently create it whenever they need it.
