I’ve been studying for the Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s CKA and CKAD certification exams for a while now. Anyone familiar with these exams knows that in order to practice, you need a cluster. Hands-on experience with Kubernetes clusters, of the kubeadm variety, is key to passing these exams. For the Read more…
In my previous article, I demonstrated how to install Kubernetes using k3s on a Raspberry Pi cluster. After you complete the 10 steps in that article, you have a tiny Pi-based cloud entirely at your disposal. You can use it to learn about Kubernetes, cloud architecture, cloud-native development, and so Read more…
In my previous article, I demonstrated how to use Podman to create and test a YAML manifest from a running pod and its containers. In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to deploy a YAML manifest for a Confluence Server pod on a Kubernetes-In-Docker (KIND) cluster. Prerequisites To Read more…

It’s easy (and misleading) to think of Read more…
Helm is a tool used to provide a unified method of deploying applications to kubernetes distributions. Learn some of the basics to create your own Helm Chart!
Do you want to get better at Linux? I have a few command-line tricks you can learn faster than drinking your early morning coffee. Here are my must-learn commands, not because you need to know them to use Linux, but because you’ll want to know them to make you better Read more…
In my previous tutorial, I demonstrated how easy it was to Deploy a Confluence Server in a Podman pod using containers. In this article, I’m going to show you how you can use Podman and the Confluence pod you created in the first article to generate a YAML manifest that Read more…
You need to learn Kubernetes. Whether you intend to maintain it or develop for it, understanding how Kubernetes functions is an important aspect to modern systems administration. One of the easiest ways to get started with Kubernetes is with k3s, a lightweight Kubernetes distribution ideal for the Raspberry Pi. You’re Read more…
