Justin Garrison shared his experience building a Kubernetes hardware lab for training and content creation. The lab, named "Cubernetes," was designed to showcase Kubernetes functionalities visually. The blog post details the parts used, including computers, networking equipment, lights, and tools, totaling $6310. The build planning involved selecting a Mac Cube case and LP-179 computers with Intel AMT support. The case build process required creative solutions like 3D printing brackets and using magnetic connectors for lights. The power setup included two 350w supplies and a molex connector for centralized power. Lights were controlled by controllers like attiny85 and Raspberry Pi Pico, offering programmable visualizations for cluster activities. The cluster proved functional and portable, allowing for easy deployment of EKS Anywhere. Garrison aimed to create an educational and visually appealing cluster, prioritizing functionality over cost efficiency. The project demonstrated innovative approaches to building a Kubernetes lab with a focus on visual representation and educational content integration.
