by hobby-kube
A comprehensive guide and automated Terraform-based solution for setting up and securely operating hobbyist Kubernetes clusters on various cloud providers.
Kubernetes clusters for the hobbyist.
Primary Use Case
This tool is designed for hobbyists and small-scale operators who want to deploy resilient and secure Kubernetes clusters on cloud platforms like Hetzner Cloud, DigitalOcean, or Scaleway. It provides detailed documentation and modular Terraform recipes to automate cluster setup, focusing on security aspects such as firewall configuration, private networking, and persistent distributed storage.
- Step-by-step guidance for Kubernetes cluster setup on multiple cloud providers
- Automated cluster provisioning using modular Terraform recipes
- Security best practices including firewall management and secure private networking
- WireGuard VPN setup for secure communication between nodes
- Instructions for installing and configuring Kubernetes components (containerd, etcd, master and worker nodes)
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) configuration for secure access management
- Ingress controller setup with DNS and SSL/TLS certificate management
- Deployment of distributed block storage solutions like Rook for persistent volumes
- Integrate the Terraform automation with CI/CD pipelines to enforce secure cluster provisioning and reduce human error.
- Leverage WireGuard VPN setup to create secure communication channels for blue team monitoring and incident response.
- Use RBAC configurations as a baseline for purple team exercises to test privilege escalation and lateral movement.
- Extend the guide with automated compliance checks against CIS Kubernetes Benchmarks for continuous security posture validation.
- Combine firewall and private networking best practices here with cloud-native security tools to enhance defense-in-depth strategies.
