Project Overview #
My homelab serves as a self-hosted cloud-native sandbox to test enterprise Kubernetes patterns, declarative GitOps deployments, and infrastructure automation. Designed to emulate production cluster environments on lightweight hardware, it bridges local development with production-grade Kubernetes management.
Hands-On Experience #
- Gained practical experience building and managing a bare-metal/single-node Kubernetes (k3s) platform
- Architected declarative GitOps sync pipelines using ArgoCD for automated continuous deployment
- Configured Traefik Ingress controllers and MetalLB load balancing for internal service routing
- Deployed Prometheus Operator and custom Grafana dashboards for cluster-wide metric observability
- Implemented persistent volume storage management, Kubernetes Secrets, ConfigMaps, and RBAC policies
Tech Stack #
- Container Orchestration: Kubernetes (k3s)
- GitOps & Delivery: ArgoCD
- Infrastructure as Code: Terraform
- Networking & Ingress: MetalLB, Traefik Ingress
- Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Kube-State-Metrics
- OS & Environment: Linux, Bash
