Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) have a considerable set of tasks to juggle no matter where they work or how long their company has had an SRE practice. But if you’re the very first SRE to join an organization – as many SREs are these days, given that the SRE trend is trickling down into smaller and smaller companies – you face a special group of challenges. You may find it difficult to get buy-in for SRE from other technical teams.
Having trouble deploying Kubernetes in a highly available mode and have a backing remote database? This blog is for you. I will explain how to deploy K3s in HA configuration with an external database Postgres. K3s is a certified Kubernetes distribution for IoT and Edge computing.

The power is there.
