added gcloud intro

- Created a new script `instalL_asciinema.sh` to automate the installation of asciinema.
- The script detects the operating system and architecture to download the appropriate binary.
- Supports Linux (both musl and GNU) and macOS (Darwin).
- Sets executable permissions for the downloaded binary and verifies the installation by displaying the version.

+why is MVK 'viable' ?
+
+Out of the box K8s examples and some deployments are not useable without other externalities
+
+* Persistent storage - often built in to managed kubernetes cloud platforms
+* Ingress - is also provided by cloud providers, K8s does not natively have this
+* ETCD is often offered as the 'management plane', again as part of managed kubernetes by cloud providers
+
+K3s does not use k8s traditional 3 node ETCD unless you configure it to do so
+
+MKK's infctl pipelines configure 3 node k3s on all 3 nodes
+
+it also adds Longhorn for persistent storage
+
+ingress is impossible without metallb and some kind of load balancer - traefik being my preference but others could be used, of course
