K3s Installation and Configuration

This chapter offers a quick deep dive into K3s. We will start by understanding what K3s is and its architecture, and then we will learn how to prepare your ARM device for K3s. Following this, you will learn how to perform a basic installation of K3s from a single node cluster to a multi-node cluster, followed by a backend configuration using MySQL. Additionally, this chapter covers how to install an Ingress controller, using Helm Charts and Helm, to expose your Services across the load balancer created by NGINX.
