&lt;p&gt;Kubernetes is a popular open-source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerised applications. It provides a robust and scalable infrastructure for running microservices and containerised applications across multiple nodes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kubernetes is a powerful tool that enables developers to deploy, manage, and scale containerised applications across multiple nodes. It provides a declarative way to define the desired state of the application, and automatically manages the deployment, scaling, and health of the application.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Homelab Part 2 - Cloud Images</title><link>/posts/homelab2/</link><pubDate>Wed, 19 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><author>cw@wagner.org.za (Chrisando Wagner)</author><guid>/posts/homelab2/</guid><description>&lt;h1 class="relative group"&gt;Proxmox Cloud Images
&lt;div id="proxmox-cloud-images" class="anchor"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span
class="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 ltr:-left-6 rtl:-right-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100"&gt;
&lt;a class="group-hover:text-primary-300 dark:group-hover:text-neutral-700 !no-underline" href="#proxmox-cloud-images" aria-label="Anchor"&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We will now create our base VM cloud images and using cloudinit to configure them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 class="relative group"&gt;Ubuntu image using CLI
&lt;div id="ubuntu-image-using-cli" class="anchor"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span
class="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 ltr:-left-6 rtl:-right-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100"&gt;
&lt;a class="group-hover:text-primary-300 dark:group-hover:text-neutral-700 !no-underline" href="#ubuntu-image-using-cli" aria-label="Anchor"&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These steps can be followed for any cloud image of your choice and will work with for example Rocky linux, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Choose your image at &lt;a
href="https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com"
target="_blank"
&gt;Ubuntu Cloud&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Welcome to the first part of my homelab series! In this part, we will explore the architecture of my homelab infrastructure and introduce the tools we will be using.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 class="relative group"&gt;Homelab Architecture
&lt;div id="homelab-architecture" class="anchor"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span
class="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 ltr:-left-6 rtl:-right-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100"&gt;
&lt;a class="group-hover:text-primary-300 dark:group-hover:text-neutral-700 !no-underline" href="#homelab-architecture" aria-label="Anchor"&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this part we will get our hands dirty and get our host operating system ready for deployment.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
