This article shows how a Java microservices app was built and deployed on a bare-metal k3s cluster with Jenkins, SonarQube, Trivy scans, and NGINX Ingress, plus the problems that showed up on the way.
Nic Cope
This case study explains how Modelplane was built entirely as a Crossplane configuration, with no custom controllers, to turn GPUs spread across clouds into one fleet behind a stable inference API.

Build something
hareshv0711
This tutorial shows how to run Azure DevOps agents on AKS so that KEDA spins up a fresh agent pod whenever the pipeline queue grows and removes it when the job is done.
Abhi
This tutorial shows how to build a local Kubernetes lab in Vagrant where MetalLB actually works, by giving each VM both a host-only and a bridged network.
Timur Nizamutdinov
This tutorial shows how to replace always-on EC2 runners with autoscaling GitLab runners using the AWS fleeting plugin and an Auto Scaling Group, so instances start per job and shut down when the queue is empty.
Aakash Deep
This tutorial teaches how to build a production-like Kubernetes cluster on bare metal using Hyper-V VMs with MetalLB, Ingress NGINX, Longhorn storage, and HPA.

This article explains how running ZooKeeper on Google Cloud Z4D nodes with local SSDs removes the disk latency that slows consensus writes, plus the GKE anti-affinity, volume binding and JVM tuning it needs.
Pendela Bhargava Sai
This article tells how a GPU passthrough on a k3s worker VM put a whole Proxmox host into a boot loop, and how masking the guest-start service at the GRUB prompt rescued it.
Daniel Carrasco Báez
This article lays out a production EKS setup where Karpenter keeps a cheap On-Demand baseline and absorbs traffic spikes with Spot nodes that drain safely when AWS reclaims them.
Matias Coca
This article explains why EKS sends most pod-to-pod traffic across availability zones and how the Kubernetes 1.35 trafficDistribution: PreferSameZone setting keeps it local and cuts the transfer bill.
