Creating a Raspberry Pi Kubernetes cluster is straight forward, however it becomes more complicated when you want to mix and match kubernetes nodes of different CPU architectures.
I recently deployed a new Kubernetes cluster in my home lab which initially consisted of two Ubuntu nodes running kubeadm and are VMs on VMware ESXi. Last night I tried to add a Raspberry Pi and ran into a couple of issues which I resolved and describe further down to save you some time.
