If kubernetes cluster was the goal, perhaps Talos Linux would have been the better choice:

Talos doesn't support RPI 5 yet, which I learned only after ordering 2 boards and trying to add them to my existing cluster on RPI 4.

100%. Talos is wonderful.

tl;dr: he used 4 raspberry pi 5s, and created a k8s cluster using microk8s.

There isn't so much value in this article, also not an explanation of how things were done...

The chosen case looks nice, but for a cluster of PIs it looks like the wrong choice.

In any case, seems like the author enjoyed his work :)

Might've been good, yes. But I think it'd have been outside the scope of his project tbf

Those mini cases are adorable! Glad you had fun and learned a lot. Fiddling around is often the best way to learn.
