Xenobroom Inc., a young startup fresh out of Silicon Valley started a lengthy process of upgrading their server infrastructure back in May 2020. According to the remaining fragments of CEO's daily journal and CTO's engineering notes, the company enjoyed a sharp rise in daily use in the midst of the global pandemic. Soon after, the decision to migrate the existing infrastructure to Kubernetes was made.

The site name’s a play on “The Onion” so it’s gotta be satire, right? I couldn’t find an about page to confirm.

    Just a system that deploys, injects configs, mounts dies, handles the networking based on configs and scheduling.

    It CAN get more complicated since it enables more advanced deployment types, but it can be simple.

    I run k3s on every computer of mine as a single node cluster now as an alt to running podman or docker.

        K3s is a distribution of Kubernetes that bundles in a few commonly used convenient tools. It’s fairly lightweight compared to vanilla k8s, and it’s simple to setup. It’s a great choice for experimenting and learning and also production ready when you’re ready to push it farther.

        I don’t have a tutorial to recommend but starting to play around with Minikube myself, should skip the need for an actual cluster

        RancherDesktop if you want a dead simple way to spin up a k3s cluster with a GUI. All of the kubernetes tooling works on too. Works on Linux, Windows, and Mac (Intel and Apple SI).

        Rancher.academy had, at one point, been a really good resource, but I honestly just haven’t watched tutorial in a while for k3s/rke2 so I would be lying if I said I knew one.
