I'm preparing for some interviews and need help with questions related to bare metal Kubernetes. I mentioned that I'm knowledgeable about bare metal setups, but my experience mainly comes from cloud-managed Kubernetes. What kinds of questions should I expect, and how can I effectively respond to them? Any insights or tips would be greatly appreciated!

You might also get asked about cluster upgrades and how to backup etcd. Those are essential skills they might look for to ensure you can manage the lifecycle of a bare metal cluster effectively.
Don't forget about the networking side! Questions about tools like MetalLB or Kube-VIP could come up since they’re common for managing load balancing on bare metal setups. Just brush up on those before the interview.
You might want to get ready for questions about hands-on experience with bare metal installs. They could ask things like, 'How did you install Kubernetes on bare metal?', 'What precautions did you take during the installation?', and possibly 'What are the benefits of using bare metal versus cloud?'
Yeah, those sound right! They really want to know if you can handle the technical challenges.
Absolutely! I've seen MetalLB come up quite often in interviews. It's worth knowing.
