Metrics Server is a crucial component of a Kubernetes cluster, responsible for collecting resource usage and performance metrics from the nodes and pods. It provides a centralized and scalable solution for retrieving cluster-wide metrics, which is essential for monitoring the health and performance of your home lab. With Metrics Server, you can easily track the utilization of resources such as CPU, memory, and network bandwidth, allowing you to identify bottlenecks and make informed decisions about scaling and resource allocation. Whether you're looking to optimize resource utilization or simply monitor the health of your cluster, Metrics Server is a must-have tool for any home Kubernetes user.
