🔹 Why I Document This
Technology is constantly evolving, and this lab allows me to experiment, break things, and learn from them. By documenting my work, I:
📌 Keep track of what I’ve built and improved.
📌 Help others who are exploring similar setups.
📌 Build a portfolio showcasing real-world expertise.
I’ll keep updating this section with new projects and insights as I continue learning. If you’re interested in DevOps, Kubernetes, and automation, stay tuned!
