Kubernetes Creating a multi-arch K8 cluster - Part 5 - Add a x86-Node Adding a x86/AMD64 node to the cluster is similar to the steps described in part 2 and part 3 of this guide. This part will add a few details you should pay attention on. At first a bootable installation media with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS for AMD64 is needed.
Kubernetes Creating a multi-arch K8 cluster - Part 4 - Setup a load-balancer and NFS After part 3 of this blog series we have a fully working Kubernetes cluster. Load-BalancerIt has one major drawback: All exposed ports of running pods/services are only reachable under the specific worker node IP address. In a real cluster a load-balancer would handle all incoming traffic and route it
Kubernetes Creating a multi-arch K8 cluster - Part 3 - Install Docker and Kubernetes The following steps have to be done on all Raspberry Pi's in the cluster! Prepare Docker installationEnable the linux kernel control groups (cgroups) for Docker and Kubernetes. These cgroups are responsible for isolation and limiting of resources like CPU and memory.
