A little over 6 moths in my current role as DevSecOps Engineer. Some days are the most uncomfortable I've felt in my life. This picture is a pretty accurate description of what it feels like learning some of the tools we use 😅 . But the knowledge and experience I’m gaining? 100% worth it.

"A comfort zone is a beautiful place – but nothing ever grows there."

I was productive yesterday - I spun up my first kubernetes cluster on my three node Proxmox cluster. The controller and 3x worker nodes are Rocky LXC containers.

The problem I'm attempting to solve is this monolithic beast of a docker host VM - it's running 12 containers and is struggling. I'm hoping to move to kubes to

  1. Learn kubes
  2. Distribute the workload across multiple physical hosts
  3. Limiting impact when one container hits high CPU/memory consumption

So far, I've successfully installed nginx ingress with cert-manager doing Let's Encrypt with cloud flare DNS proofs and direct container NFS mounts. I still need to figure out when/how to use persistent volumes/claims vs direct NFS mounts inside the container, and frankly I don't really grok labels/selectors/namespaces stuff.
