Demystifying Kubernetes internals

on YouTube ↗44m

" summary

Shows how to build a minimal Kubernetes control plane from v1.27.0 binaries and run it end-to-end: etcd on 2379, kube-apiserver, controller-manager, scheduler, kubelet with containerd. Deploys a static httpd Deployment + Service, installs Cilium CNI (so no kube-proxy), uses Helm to install Traefik as an Ingress controller, registers a node named “DK”, moves pods to Running, and exposes the site (deskarm.windler.fr) with a single self-signed cert working on both amd64 and arm64.
