How to Build a Kubernetes Cluster with ARM Raspberry Pi then run .NET Core on OpenFaas

Alpha2 is around the corner and I'm glad to announce that it will come with the first usable version of C# as a Godot scripting language. It's still at an early stage and there is a lot of work ahead, but it's a good opportunity for users to have a first look at it and return feedback.
