Bare-Metal Kubernetes with K3s

It appears there's two camps in the audience. The camp I'm familiar with (and it appears the author as well) use bare-metal to mean running on your own computers (either in-house or colo) instead of in a VM on a cloud provider.

Just call it physical or dedicated servers.

Everyone is right. Each group have their own background or silo or bubble or industry and each can use the word. Nobody can claim exclusive ownership unless they have a trademark. The one that still boggles my little mind is "Apple". How a company can own exclusive rights to that I will never understand, regardless of how many times a lawyer explains it to me.

I am yet to come across usage where the context doesn't make it unambiguous what it means. It can mean both things at the same time.

I agree, I'm just saying that both sides are understandably confused because its clear that both sides were unfamiliar with the other meaning.
