In order to increase the Kubernetes experience for developers, a Kubernetes environment is required.

To do this, we can create a cluster on external on-premise servers or in the cloud. AWS, Google, or Azure offer very good solutions here. However, these variants are associated with increased costs or additional effort.

For many use cases, however, it is sufficient to create a local cluster. This is possible within a few seconds with the right tool. The creation is often very simple and available in a very short time. After we are done with our work, we can shut down the cluster very easily and all required resources are released again.
