I have an always growing Kubernetes cluster. I currently have a cluster made of 2 Raspberry Pis and 1 PC but HOW, isn't that frowned upon? Well, you can use the NodeSelector attribute to make the containers stick to specific nodes. The specifics we are covering in this article are the CPU architectures of the nodes since the Raspberry Pis run ARM and my PCs run AMD64.
Easy config of an Azure DevOps agent in a Kubernetes cluster with Helm Charts
Helm charts make it simple to deploy containers in K8S . I see it as Kubernetes package manager, think Chocolatey for Windows.
