Kubernetes Single-Cluster Platform
Beelink SER5 Pro · Proxmox VE · 3-node cluster · Phases 0–10 complete
A foundation Kubernetes platform built with production engineering practices — running on a single Proxmox host (32 GB RAM, 500 GB SSD) with a 3-node kubeadm v1.31 cluster. The platform covers the full engineering stack:
GitOps ArgoCD App-of-Apps · crane + Trivy image promotion pipeline
Observability Prometheus · Grafana · Loki · Promtail
Security Vault + ESO · Falco · NetworkPolicy · cert-manager
Identity Keycloak SSO
Networking Cloudflare Tunnel · nginx-ingress · Calico CNI
Storage & Backup CloudNativePG · WAL archiving · PITR · Longhorn · MinIO · Velero · rclone

Kubernetes Multi-Cluster Platform
Beelink SER5 Pro · Talos Linux · Hub-and-Spoke · vCluster · Cilium
Simulates a multi-tenant enterprise environment managed centrally using a Hub-and-Spoke pattern — a single management plane controlling isolated tenant clusters, eliminating duplication of platform services across environments.
Management ArgoCD Hub · Vault · Keycloak · ESO · Cilium Gateway API
Observability Prometheus · Grafana · Loki — aggregated across all clusters
Networking Cilium CNI · Cluster Mesh · Gateway API · Cloudflare Tunnel
Storage & Backup Longhorn · MinIO · Velero — shared across vClusters
