Converting an old MacBook into an always-on personal Kubernetes cluster
What sort of fun projects/experiments do people do with a super low powered k8s cluster locally?<p>I'm kind of in this weird position where I understand the benefits and use of k8s, but I:<p>a) Can't think of any cutesy distributed systems/microservices type thing that I could or would want to run on a low power machine locally (lack of processing power or ISP getting pissed off @ massive amount of traffic if you're e.g. scraping a ton of data and doing stream processing on it in your little cluster)<p>b) Don't really understand the point in investing time in it, as it feels like one of those things you learn on the job as it comes up. And for a lot of people (the majority, probably?) it'll probably never even come up unless they just are hunting for new tech to introduce at work regardless of if the business actually needs it. Which IMO, most businesses don't even have a compelling reason to switch from the old 3 tier monolith architecture.
