In this article, I will demonstrate how to manually install kubernetes cluster in seconds using 2 shell scripts-ready to run-
one for the master node and another for the worker node

Important to know

That starting from Kubernetes version 1.22, Docker is no longer supported as a container runtime or even a tool to manage containers and images. As alternatives, containerd will be used as container runtime and crictl will be used as CLI for CRI(Container Runtime Interface).
Also podman can be used to manage containers and images.

Link for installation scripts used in this article:

Prerequisites

  • 2 Ubuntu machines (master and worker) with minimum specs of 2 vCPUs, 4 GB memory
