Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Setting up your lab today, three paths to choose your way
Kind is lightweight, runs in Docker, perfect for local play
Kubernetes in Docker wrapped, minimal resource trap
Development flows so smooth, when you're learning Kafka's groove

[Chorus]
Three nodes, four cores, sixteen gigs of RAM
Hundred gigabyte storage for your Kafka plan
Kind, Minikube, or the cloud above
Choose your path to Strimzi love

[Verse 2]
Minikube needs more power, eight gigs minimum hour
Virtual machine spinning up, Kubernetes buttercup
Memory allocation high, let your local cluster fly
Hypervisor underneath, makes your setup complete

[Chorus]
Three nodes, four cores, sixteen gigs of RAM
Hundred gigabyte storage for your Kafka plan
Kind, Minikube, or the cloud above
Choose your path to Strimzi love

[Verse 3]
Cloud managed is the third way, EKS, AKS, GKE
Small node pool to start you right, production-like insight
Amazon, Azure, Google's might, enterprise-grade flight
Scaling up when traffic grows, that's how the story goes

[Bridge]
Local development or cloud production
Choose your infrastructure reduction
SSD storage keeps it fast
Lab environment built to last

[Chorus]
Three nodes, four cores, sixteen gigs of RAM
Hundred gigabyte storage for your Kafka plan
Kind, Minikube, or the cloud above
Choose your path to Strimzi love

[Outro]
Lab environment set and ready
Kubernetes cluster running steady
Strimzi waiting for deploy
Time to learn and time to enjoy
