Build a Kubernetes cluster with the Raspberry Pi

Thanks for sharing that. Yes, I think the /boot/firmware directory is a newer thing. I *think* it's a distribution thing, but I could be wrong on that.

Build a Kubernetes cluster with the Raspberry Pi

Thanks for your feedback! Would you mind elaborating? I did not set the pod network cidr directly, but it was created with 10.244.0.0/24. (Not /16 as you suggest.) I do see the flannel config is hard-coded to 10.244.0.0/16.

What am I missing?

Thanks!
