As of this year I will start to get more experienced in using kubernetes, to achieve this goal I got a cheap vps.

Cheap vps? How will you deploy kubernetes?

That would be a valid problem to get stuck on, but I had already started to play with kubernetes deployments using microk8s but with this deployment i want to take kind on a spin.

Wait a minute wouldn’t it be simpler using a clodu provider ?

Yes that might be the case but cloud providers do not only bill for usage but for the deployment time also as such the cloud provider might be a fit option for a big corporation with real budgets but in my case I am just a guy without a big savings account to be able to fund this endeavour.

Why go through all the trouble?

In my experience, I learn best through hands on experiences as such, I wish to gain experience in configuring more complex usecases but in order to do that I need to understand the basics.
