For the first actual content to be posted to this blog is nothing other than exactly how I deployed and update it! Architecture and Infrastructure First, let’s start off by listing our current Architecture/Infrastructure. I am a huge fan of self-hosting, and previously have had a bare-metal server which ran my home-lab k8s cluster but I have since migrated to utilizing an amazing open-source project called Ampernetacle, which takes advantage of Oracle Cloud’s very generous free tier, allowing us to deploy a 4 ARM based node (1 vCPU/4GB) cluster on a forever free basis.
