Raspberry Adventures

It all started with my 40th birthday when I was gifted 3 Raspberry Pis. With some months of k8s experience I thought the same as quite likely anyone: I should totally build my own cluster!

Here I am sharing the journey of getting there - including all highs, lows, and everything in between.
