Week 2 - Learning K8s

Week 2 Recap

I decided to use Claude for some help. Not to login and create the setup for me (although I will do that later). More to build me a guide so I can learn for myself. I had Claude create steps for me to complete a cluster configuration. Pretty straight forward.

After some iterations I was able to get a working flow. So now as I need more control planes or workers I can easily expand my cluster OR configure/setup a new cluster. Later on if I need a break from K8 I'll take a look at using Ansible to help me make this a more standard process.

But at the end of this week I had a 6 total vms deployed. Three were for a control plane, Three were worker nodes. I haven't quite made it through testing if I actually have an HA setup.

What's next?

Next week I want to test some of the HA functionality. Turn off some control planes, turn off some workers, etc. and see what happens. After that maybe deploy an App? I'm going to start with something stateless by design to simplify the components.

See you next week!
