It is always great to learn something new, try it hands-on, fail a couple of times, and then get it to work. My experience with coding so far has been limited to the bare minimum required by whatever IAM solution I helped design and implement. I have always learned on the go. As such, I’ve never been required to “get my hands dirty” in DevOps and this world is entirely alien to me.

But now, I see reliability issues with my homelab server and find myself occasionally disconnected from the network due to critical networking and proxying containers being unavailable. Enter Kubernetes. I started learning about it and already I’m designing Phase 2 of the homelab, and today, I deployed my first pod using a YAML configuration file. I had to struggle with it, but got there in the end. My first Infrastructure as Code.
