Kubernetes (K3s)

My homelab is built on a lightweight K3s cluster, providing a robust platform for container orchestration. This allows for seamless deployment and scaling of various services while maintaining low resource overhead.

Traffic Management

Traefik serves as the primary ingress controller, handling SSL termination and routing. Integrated with Cert-Manager, it automatically provisions and renews Let's Encrypt certificates, ensuring all services are secured by default.

This architecture embodies SRE principles by prioritizing automation, observability, and reproducible deployments through GitOps workflows.
