Building Smart Farms with Edge Computing Systems Using Kubernetes

on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

Live demo builds a tiny edge cluster with K3s on Raspberry Pi that reads temperature and humidity sensors, sends metrics via a Python REST client into a cluster, and stores them in MySQL + Grafana for real‑time dashboards. Setup uses standard Pi hardware, microSD OS, K3s, optional MetalLB/Longhorn, ARM CPUs, and simple scripts; the repo contains manifests and code. Claims: runs on one to a few Pis, can be solar powered, and shows immediate sensor-to-dashboard feedback.
