You will containerize sensor data collection applications as pods, attach NVMe-based persistent volumes, and manage them exactly like a cloud-native stack — ideal for prototyping IoT and edge computing systems. This kit transforms a single Pi 5 into a lightweight Kubernetes node running sensor ingestion microservices, so you can model real-world edge deployments without complex cloud infrastructure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fully operational K3s cluster where sensor data collection microservices run in isolated pods, with persistent storage on a 256GB NVMe SSD via the Pi 5 M.2 HAT+. You'll have a dashboard to monitor your deployments and real-time sensor logs.
