Kubernetes the Fun Way is a collection of case studies and demos in which Kubernetes and other cloud-native technologies are explored in unrealistic and (somewhat) ridiculous scenarios. The purpose is to create a fun and inclusive learning environment
Each of the case studies is accompanied by a demo, lessons learned and videos/gifs which are supposed to look fun:
-
Running a Kubernetes cluster on Arm64 single board computers in my living room and creating a ceph pool managed by Rook using USB Flash Drives just to run a Wordpress blog;
-
Building a Kubernetes operator for drones, attaching worker nodes to the drones, and launching them in the air;
-
Using a mobile app to trigger vm shutdowns in order to test the resilience of "cloud-native" applications;
-
The fourth one is still under development and will be about creating your own Kubernetes as a Service using Typhoon K8s.
Dan is passionate about two things: cloud and Arm64. He used to work as a one-person Ops team focused on setting up and maintaining Kubernetes clusters on most of the major cloud providers. Now he works at Swisscom as a Kubernetes engineer. In his free time, he bootstrapped the Kubernetes the Fun Way cluster and is trying to make it as production-ready as possible.
