Using OpenEBS successfully for remote working and to reduce costs
summary
Describes running stateful Kubernetes workloads on a home server or laptop using OpenEBS plus Director for metrics and migration, with live migration to cloud clusters and CSI compatibility. Claims: persistent-storage costs drop up to 90% for ephemeral CI volumes via thin provisioning, NFS bill falls ~40%, and overall infra savings of 30–68% in examples. Shows replacing a $6,000/month managed DB with a three‑node self‑hosted cluster (~$2,000) and using local PVs to cut replica needs while keeping HA features.
