Getting Started with Minikube as Your Local Kubernetes Cluster

Creating your one-node local Kubernetes cluster at no cost. Getting Started with Minikube as Your Local Kubernetes Cluster

Kubernetes or K8s plays a major role in DevOps and currently, most applications are likely to be deployed in a Kubernetes cluster. Before Docker introduced in 2013, Virtualisation played a huge role in the IT industry.

You could have certainly heard different tools such as Virtual Box, VM ware, etc and most probably you have already experienced them by today. But after the containers came into the picture, developers started containerising their applications because this technology gave them more feasibility solutions to go further.

Once Google introduced Kubernetes which is a powerful system to manage containerised applications in a clustered environment, the real change started to happen. Kubernetes is an open-source system which has its’ own architecture and compatible with different 3rd-party tools and adapters.

In a clustered environment, you would probably have several master and worker nodes and most of them could be either physical machines or a cloud environment. But, what if you need to test something in your local machine? it could be simple containerised application or might be a production-level application which needs to be tested before you deploy it. Anyhow, this doesn’t mean that you need to buy all the required physical machines or a cloud environment to test them out in a cluster.

Then, what could be your choice? Here’s Minikube comes into the picture.

Our original Kubernetes tool list was so popular that we've curated another great list of tools to help you improve your functionality with the platform.

Installing Docker Swarm clusters is simple. It only requires a few commands to setup a cluster, and then to add further worker or manager nodes. The setup is also OS independent, and so developers don’t have to spend any time learning new commands based on the OS.

Welcome to this on Docker Tutorial for Beginners. In this video provides an Introduction on C++ development with Docker containers. So we will see How to ship C++ Programs in Docker.

This article explains how you can leverage Kubernetes to reduce multi cloud complexities and improve stability, scalability, and velocity.
