How do you manage your #Kubernetes resource lifecycle?
Let's say you installed a new product, with all the bells and whistles (deployments, service accounts, gateway, network policies, roles and bindings. But you don't need those anymore. How do you dispose of them?
Do you install stuff with a kubectl apply and do you dispose of them by manually calling kubectl delete?
With this being the first Raspberry Pi 5 of the cluster, and since those are notorious for running hotter than the Pi 4. Which I did extensive testing on last year: https://blog.wyrihaximus.net/2024/12/building-a-kubernetes-homelab-w…
Yes, the script emitted by "kubectl completion zsh" supports resource names!

#Kubernetes 101:
Do not mix your tools. It ends up in a mess.
E.g. running `kubens my-namespace` within `kubie` results in the temporary config file suddenly containing `namespace; !!null my-namespace`. Like whaaat... gotta use `kubie ns` instead.
There is a massive focus on trying to get Open Source software to the point where governments or big corporations can use them to "increase sovereignty" (which sometimes means a bit of a weird mix of things).
But that can lead to software being pushed towards more and more complex architectures and deployment strategies (think something like a simple collaborative editor needing Kubernetes to be deployable). While governments and certain companies might be able to shoulder tha…

I'm passing this survey about names for the co-op to some friends... and every time they face a non-English sounding name... they all say this same phrase (with small variations):
> It doesn't sound **international** enough / at all.
Honestly... I find it quite sad. I know ultimately it doesn't matter what I think personally, we still need a good & catchy name (it's not in our hands to make people think differently)...
Anyway, I believe UK & American #imperialism have fucked our brains and removed so much creativity & freedom from our minds...
Note: this issue is disconnected from the specific names of our survey. I've seen it too with names of very successful projects (but unknown to the people I was talking to); for example with "Kubernetes".

Internally the registered completion function runs kubectl __complete with the same terms, like: `kubectl __complete get ns ku`, which emits a list of terms back to the completion function.
kubectl can be run with higher verbosity (eg -v6) to see the underlying requests being made to the remote server, but they're the normal ones to retrieve a list of resources (eg GET https://10.11.12.13:6443/api/v1/namespaces?limit=500).

FYI all, portainer is giving away 3 node business licenses. #kubernetes support since the last time I visited their site, so I'm interested in checking how well that interacts with #talos.
Some of my #homelab machines currently just run a few containers in #docker_compose stacks for services my #homeassistant server is using like node red and I've been using #portainer for simple things like checking status or restarting things without having to ssh into those workers. Most of those containers are going to get migrated into my #k8s cluster, so it'll be interesting to see how well it works as a quick web interface.
