Some people might not be into the whole “lose a weekend” getting OKD installed with Kasten in the confines of an undernourished home lab.

 

If that is you case then this is the place for you: Openshift Learning, with a section on Kasten leveraging a developer sandbox!

In fact I think I will do that too!

One thing to add in the overwhelming naming that we have in the Kubernetes world. 

OKD, previously OpenShift Origin, is a community project of packaged software components needed to run Kubernetes. OKD is the upstream project of Red Hat OpenShift, optimized for continuous application development and deployment. OKD is generally a few releases ahead of OpenShift on features because OKD is where community updates happen first, and where they are trialed for enterprise use.

It is also quite heavy on the resources compared to a vanilla Kubevirt setup. A lot of operators but I got it going on my home lab with Kasten which was a first :)
