After piddling with Kubernetes for a long time, I've started to be more serious about it lately. I've read a few K8s books, then skimmed them and played with bits and parts. But now I'm ready for more.

The first part of this is that RaspPis are staring to flow; it doesn't mean they are in my local stores yet, but things are flowing, and I have good confidence we'll see some in the near future. That means my local lab is now very feasible.

The other part is I've been out and about a little, and I've had some travelling time to read and attend a few tech events, which were all cloud related. So while I have a decent high level understanding of K8s, I need to fiddle seriously both locally and in the cloud to a point where I can get a reproducible environment and be able to write the code bits in Yaml or Json to build the resources as IaC.

There are also a few things I have to get working -- short term its SSL like I have HTTP working, but also things like a K8s health dashboard and custom images, possibly from a public or even private repo. This is besides doing some updates to bring my cloud K8s version to something kind of supported.

Lots to do, lots still to learn.
