Create a Local Kubernetes Cluster (K8s#3)
How to get a local Kubernetes cluster up and running
Hi everyone! With this article, we go deep with the Kubernetes Series. In the previous articles, I have shared with you a brief introduction to Kubernetes and showed the most common Docker parts used for Kubernetes.
Today I want to show you 2 ways to setup a local Kubernetes cluster, that is the base you must have to start working with Kubernetes. These ways are the following :
- Setup minikube
- Setup Virtual Machines with Master and Worker nodes
Introduction
To follow this guide, you need only to know the basic concepts of Kubernetes, with particular focus to :
- Docker container runtime
- Master and Worker nodes
- kubelet component
Actually, setting up the cluster with minikube requires no prior experience or knowledge, but I hope and recommend you know the very basic concepts before setting up a cluster. If not so, I leave the link to the official documentation where all the concepts are well explained: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/
