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.

Hey guys, I want to share a guide I’m pretty proud of which is talking about setting up kubernetes which leverages https://kubespray.io/#/ and https://metallb.universe.tf/ so you can host this yourself most people when spinning up kubernetes opt for k3s or get stuck with all the options or unable to setup the external ips for their services so these tools will eliminate the problem.
Don't forget the lies of cost savings that the Cloud providers have shoved down our industry's throats. We are paying out the nose for cloud services and we are giving up all the rights to our data. It's a bad deal in the end.
I have a bunch of friends that work at SaaS companies and their cloud spend for pretty basic deployments is in the many thousands of dollars a month. Most of their deployments could be handled by a half rack with beefy servers in a couple of datacenters for a fraction of the cost. I pay for a full rack myself and it costs me ~$1200 a month for space, power and bandwidth (10Gb pipe with a current 1Gb commit), and my hardware costs for everything in that rack were a one time cost of around $3000. I have 160 GHz of CPU and 141 GiB of memory for my workloads with a few servers that are not yet provisioned into my Nomad cluster.
And before you say well there are costs involved with finding people that have the skills to do that kind of thing and time needed to set all of that up, yes that is true, but our industry has moved from one bucket to another one that is more expensive in the end with a bunch of downsides. I think there is a middle ground where you can use some cloud services and run the important stuff on hardware you own. The tooling to self-host your own stack in a rack of servers you own is light years better than it was 10 years ago and it keeps getting better. Tools like https://nebula.defined.net/docs/ and https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon for example enable you to use whatever providers you want and build a deployment can cost less, gives you more control over your data, while being agile enough to make changes when the team needs something new or different.
I am excited for the next 10 years of progress and I'd expect we are going to see more companies self-hosting their deployments on bare metal.
If you're a developer and feeling adventurous, you can also try building it yourself. The source is all on GitHub. It uses the circle-stdlib project (which is circle plus some additions to support much of the C and C++ standard libraries) as a submodule; hopefully I've set that up correctly, but you could always clone that separately and place it in the MiniScript-Pi folder. Check out circle's build instructions for info on setting up your toolchain. (Mac users: be careful with the configure script, which does not work properly on MacOS; find me on Discord and I'll help you fix the script or configure manually.)
There's also RTIC which is another framework that makes concurrency trivial.
I have just seen https://github.com/dwhinham/mt32-pi but it doesn't seem as easy to play with and well-documented as the other software I've used.
Great work. I can recommend to take a look on source code repo for Real-Time C++ book (by Christopher Kormanyous) it contains some interesting examples and use cases. The book itself is also nice
Project mention: Bare-Metal Kubernetes, Part I: Talos on Hetzner | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-09Hetzner Cloud is officially supported, but that means setting up VPSs in Hetzner's Cloud offering, whereas this project was intended as a more or less independent pure bare-metal cluster. I see they offer Bare Metal support as well, but I haven't dived too deep into it.
I haven't used KubeOne, but I have previously used Syself's https://github.com/syself/cluster-api-provider-hetzner which I believe works in a similar fashion. I think the approach is very interesting and plays right into the Kubernetes Operator playbook and its self-healing ambitions.
That being said, the complexity of the approach, probably in trying to span and resolve inconsistencies across such a wide landscape of providers, caused me quite a bit of grief. I eventually abandoned this approach after having some operator somewhere consistently attempt and fail to spin up a secondary control plane VPS against my wishes. After poring over loads of documentation and half a dozen CRDs in an attempt to resolve it, I threw in my hat.
Of course, Kubermatic is not Syself, and this was about a year ago, so it is entirely possible that both projects are absolutely superb solutions to the problem at this point.
