Deploying a docker-registry in your private kubernetes cluster
It is surprisingly hard to deploy a private docker registry anywhere, and kubernetes is no exception.
Deploying distcc in a kubernetes cluster to transform it into a big, fast build-machine.
For C++ developers, more cores to build on means faster builds. If your project is big, more cores can make a significant boost. If you have a local k8 cluster with spare CPU, it's amazingly simple to turn it into a build-machine.
