Been working as a dev for over 15 years now, mostly in startups so alway learning, very fast mover.
The last few years has mostly revolved around building large internal cloud consumption platforms for enterprises through a boutique consultancy; involved from initial pitches through to implementation.
Previously successfully raised VC funds and while ultimately unsuccessful in the long run, learned a lot.
I self host a huge amount of stuff on-top of a custom cloud platform I built using a Kubernetes cluster deployed as a tenant of my cloud.
I run a few servers which all have an "ordlet" installed, akin to the kubelet, which configure network namespaces for isolated tenant networking and boots virtual machines which use a EC2 style metadata server to fetch their boot script, which for this purpose configures a HA kubernetes cluster that then uses ArgoCD to fetch all the manifests from my git repo using an AppSet.
It's so incredibly over complicated and over engineered, it's a lot of fun :)
I've been working on an incredibly over engineered platform to run my home lab and to help learn about some lower levels of the stack I don't get to play with much in my day job as a consultant.
It's based on the kubernetes api server so while it doesn't understand "pods" or even proper "namespaces", it uses the same YAML resource model and api server code.
