Take my netbooting Raspberry Pi workshop with K3s
I've just launched my netbooting workshop for Raspberry Pi. It was previously only available to sponsors. The new version includes a PDF, scripts and a community Slack channel as part of the package.
You'll setup your server with NFS and TFTP, configure filesystems for each of the RPis, get them booting up, measure the speed, then setup K3s in a HA configuration. From there you can learn what to deploy on the cluster, and find a few jump off points for going further.
