Hi there! 👋

I'm Barush Méndez, a recent Computer Science graduate and a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) with over five years of hands-on experience in the IT industry. If you've stumbled upon this corner of the internet (which is running on a Kubernetes Cluster on my basement), chances are you're as passionate as I am about Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, Cloud-native tools, and of course, Kubernetes!

Now that I've officially wrapped up my CS degree (🎉), I finally have the time and freedom to focus on something I've been wanting to do for a long time: creating content. This blog is my way of sharing what I know, what I'm learning, and what excites me about the ever-evolving world of IT.

Why Start a Blog?

Over the years, I've realized how powerful it is to give back to the community that has helped me grow. Whether it's through open-source projects, tech forums, or conversations with like-minded peers, the IT world thrives on collaboration and shared knowledge.

Through this blog, I aim to:

Share insights into what it’s like to work as an SRE, solving real-world challenges with tools like Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Terraform.
Demystify DevOps for beginners and professionals alike.
Dive into programming, with a special focus on Go, Python, and maybe even C.

What to Expect

Here's a sneak peek of what's coming:

SRE Essentials: Best practices, troubleshooting tips, and how to stay sane while keeping systems reliable.
Cloud-Native Chronicles: My experiments with Kubernetes, containers, and other cloud-native tools.
DevOps Diaries: Practical insights into automation, CI/CD pipelines, and building a DevOps mindset.
Code Spotlights: Tutorials and projects that highlight the beauty of programming in Go, Python, and beyond.

Let’s Connect

This blog isn’t just about me; it’s about us as a community. If you’re curious, have questions, or even want to challenge a perspective I share, feel free to comment or reach out. After all, learning is a two-way street!

Thanks for joining me on this journey. Let’s explore, learn, and grow together in this fascinating world of technology. 🚀

Building a Highly Available Kubernetes Cluster – Part 1: The Incident

This post is part of a series on transforming my home Kubernetes cluster into a Highly Available (HA) setup. On my last blog post, I documented an incident with my cluster and wrote a post-mortem report to ensure it doesn’t happen again. So this blog post is about taking

Learning from Failure, Why You Should Write Post-Mortems for Your Homelab

A Rough Homecoming After a recent trip, I finally returned home a week ago. Between unpacking and catching up on household chores, I hadn’t found time to work on my cluster. Unfortunately, sometime during the week, a power outage caused all my machines to shut down unexpectedly. When I

Secure Kubernetes Secrets & Disaster Recovery with SOPS, GitOps & FluxCD

In my previous blog post, we explored how to securely expose services using the Cloudflare Operator and Cloudflared tunnels (previously known as Argo Tunnels). While external security is critical, securing and managing secrets inside your cluster is just as essential—and often overlooked. Kubernetes secrets store sensitive information like API

Exposing Kubernetes Services Securely with Cloudflare Operator and GitOps

On my last blog post, I explained why Exposing your public IP for your homelab is a bad Idea and introduced Cloudflare Tunnels as a great alternative to securely expose your services. In this blog post, we will dive into how to expose services from your Kubernetes cluster to the
