Curious about the details of how you rebuild/deploy your k8s servers. Any chance you've already written about this somewhere?
Between company policy on social media and internal weirdness I can't really write a GitHub or Medium contribution to HN that anyone would want to consume anyway.
However I do plan to document what I've learned in a generic sort of "If you use Digital Ocean, this is how to do X, Y, Z" way.
Not using DigitalOcean currently, but look forward to reading that someday.
