1 Year, 15 Certs, a Raspberry Pi Home Lab: How I Became a Golden Kubestronaut
summary
Builds a Raspberry Pi home lab with three Raspberry Pi 5s clustered with kubeadm, runs real CNCF projects from a public GitHub repo (kansanlove) and converts curiosity into credentials: 15 certs in 14 months. The CKA requires two attempts and consumes roughly 80 of 125 hours on Kubestronaut, but that foundation makes later exams much faster. Hands‑on breaking and fixing proves tools work and creates momentum for the next exam.
