K3s

Dive into the core concepts and architecture of Kubernetes as I explain what makes it the industry standard for container orchestration and why K3s is perfect for a Raspberry Pi homelab. This post breaks down the control plane components, worker nodes, networking principles, and fundamental Kubernetes objects, setting the foundation for our upcoming hands-on implementation.

Introducing P4ndaLab, my journey building a Kubernetes homelab on a Raspberry Pi. This first post outlines my project goals, the budget-friendly approach with existing hardware, and the roadmap for implementing a complete K8s environment. Join me as I document both the theory and hands-on implementation in this educational series.
