Kubernetes has ostensibly become the defacto leader in the container orchestration world. If you want to run a bunch of containers across multiple nodes in a cluster, k8s is the way to go. I really wanted to convert some of the web-based services I currently run on Docker on my home network into Kubernetes Deployments. Why? Why not? I aimed to create a basic setup of 1 master and 2 worker nodes so I needed 3 machines.
