Techno Tim | The FASTEST Way to run Kubernetes at Home - k3s Ansible Automation - Kubernetes in your HomeLab @TechnoTim | Uploaded March 2022 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Setting up kubernetes is hard. That's why we made it easy. Today we'll set up a High Availability K3s cluster using etcd, MetalLB, kube-vip, and Ansible. We'll automate the entire process giving you an easy, repeatable way to create a k3s cluster that you can run at home in a few minutes.
This is a great way to set up Kubernetes in your HomeLab.
