+# Ced's HomeLab (Architecture Portfolio)
+
+> A cloud-connected, multi-node homelab replicating modern datacenter design patterns for learning, experimentation, and portfolio work.
+
+---
+## 🔎 Summary
+
+Ced’s HomeLab is a **fully segmented, container-first infrastructure** designed to simulate the architecture, security, and operational practices found in modern production environments.  
+It brings together virtualization, distributed storage, Kubernetes, infrastructure networking, reverse proxy routing, cloud edge security, observability, and home automation — all interconnected through a clean DNS and identity entrypoint.
+
+This environment powers:
+- **A Proxmox virtualization platform**
+- **A 12-node Raspberry Pi K3s cluster** for Kubernetes
+- **TrueNAS ZFS storage** with NFS media datasets
+- **Cloudflare Tunnel for remote access** (no open ports)
+- **NGINX Proxy Manager** for internal routing
+- **Grafana + Prometheus** observability
+- **Home Assistant automation**
+- **Media stack (Arr suite + Jellyfin)**
+
+The result is a compact, self-hosted environment that mirrors the systems used in enterprise IT and cloud-native deployments.
+
+---
+
+## 🏗️ Architecture Overview
+
+The lab is built around **three pillars**:
+
+### 1) Virtualization Layer
+**Proxmox VE** hosts all core infrastructure VMs/LXCs:
+- Nginx Proxy Manager
+- Home Assistant
+- Grafana / Prometheus / Uptime Kuma
+- Arr suite + Jellyfin
+- etc.
+
+It is the compute layer for workloads that benefit from full system isolation.
+
+---
+
+### 2) Kubernetes Layer
+A **12-node Raspberry Pi K3s cluster** provides a distributed environment for:
+- container deployments
+- ingress-based routing
+- GitOps automation (future)
+- service-oriented workloads
+
+This is where “cloud-native” architecture lives.
+
+K3s is documented here:
+👉 https://github.com/ced4568/ced-k3s-homelab
+
+---
+
+### 3) Storage Layer
+**TrueNAS SCALE** provides:
+- ZFS pools for reliability
+- NFS shares for Proxmox VM storage
+- Snapshots for versioning
+- SMB for media datasets
+
+Storage is intentionally kept external from compute to mirror modern datacenter patterns.
+
+---
+
+## 🔐 Zero-Trust Access
+
+All external access uses **Cloudflare Tunnel**, not port forwarding.
