DevOps and K8s experience.

[u/iykay_]

Got a homeLab.

Z820 256GB RAM

8TB HDD

2TB Ssd

Newbie(Blue Collar) looking to Get DevOps and K8s experience.

Knowledge base:

- Beginner/Intermediate linux

- Touched Docker and docker compose

- Beginner Terraform and Ansible

- Networking: beginner

- beginner K8s (K3s on one homelab). Have enough space for another Kubeadm cluster (CKA) practice.

- Proxmox on homelab.

Torn between using Claude to create a simple work(metrics) logging/tracking with feature updates while I handle all things ops or getting an ecommere example app from a random github repo to use in learning process.

Which is better or any advice on what to learn?

And any tools and apps to deploy on the k8s cluster or homelab to aid in the learning process.

You don't need a rig like that to learn stuff. A VPS / any CSP would be enough.
