Autoscale your workloads with a HorizontalPodAutoscaler, and understand the honest capacity limits on a single-node cluster.

Control who can do what on your cluster with RBAC roles, role bindings, and service accounts — scoped to small team needs.

Protect a small Kubernetes cluster with etcd snapshots plus manifest exports, and restore them on a fresh k3s install.

Package manifests into reusable Helm charts, parameterize values with Go templates, and install releases with a single command.

Organize workloads with namespaces and keep them from starving the node using resource requests and limits and ResourceQuota.

See how ReplicaSets keep pod counts stable and how Deployments perform rolling updates with no downtime using readiness probes.

Give pods storage that survives restarts using PersistentVolumes and PVCs, with the k3s built-in local-path provisioner.

Inject configuration and sensitive values into your pods with ConfigMaps and Secrets, and learn the right way to mount or reference them.

Route external traffic to multiple services through a single Ingress on k3s, using host-based and path-based rules with Traefik.

Understand labels and selectors so you can build Services that route traffic to exactly the right pods, and avoid common misrouting bugs.

Take a container image and turn it into a running workload on k3s using Deployment and Service manifests, then verify it end to end.

Install k3s on a single VPS node to get a working Kubernetes cluster in minutes, then verify nodes, pods, and kubectl access.
