Recent Infrastructure & DevOps Learning
Production-grade infrastructure projects & learning journey (Oct-Nov 2025)
🚀 Kubernetes Production Cluster
November 3, 2025
Deployed production-grade K3s cluster with Docker integration, persistent storage, and multi-website isolation on single server.
Achievements:
- Zero-downtime deployments with rolling updates
- Multi-website hosting with complete isolation
- <512MB RAM per node (lightweight K3s)
- Persistent storage across pod restarts
☁️ Serverless Cloudflare Pages
October 15, 2025
Deployed GitHub-centric CI/CD pipeline with serverless architecture on Cloudflare Pages free tier.
Key Metrics:
- 40s build time vs 2min traditional VPS
- Global CDN distribution included
- Zero infrastructure costs
- Automatic SSL/TLS certificates
🌐 Tailscale Mesh Networks
October 3, 2025
Explored zero-trust overlay networking with WireGuard-based virtual IP infrastructure.
Key Learnings:
- Zero-trust identity-based access control
- 5 implementation patterns brainstormed
- Mesh networking (peer-to-peer direct)
- No firewall rules or port forwarding needed
🖥️ RustDesk Remote Access
October 10, 2025
Evaluated open-source remote desktop alternative with critical latency optimization analysis.
Critical Insights:
- Server proximity = latency (5-15ms @ 500km)
- 50-100ms latency at 5000km distance
- Cloudflare free tier lacks UDP support
- Geography matters more than software
💻 KVM/QEMU Hypervisors
October 1, 2025
Studied kernel-based virtualization, evaluated Proxmox vs QEMU, chose VirtualBox for pragmatism.
Key Decisions:
- KVM learning for production understanding
- VirtualBox for development simplicity
- GPU utilization = niche requirement
- Pragmatism > raw capability
📈 Learning Progression
October 1 - November 3, 2025
DevOps learning arc: hypervisor fundamentals → distributed networking → remote access → serverless → orchestration.
Progression Milestones:
- Infrastructure concepts (KVM/QEMU)
- Network design (Tailscale)
- Performance optimization (RustDesk)
- Modern deployment (Serverless)
- Container orchestration (K3s)
