A local Kubernetes cluster using kind. This will be regularly updated to use the default node image for each release.
Using a local cluster is great for learning, experimentation and practice. It's also useful to have when you're studying for any of the Kubernetes certifications.
Note
For the CKS exam, you'll have to create a bare-metal cluster due to limitations with kind. I've found the cks-course-environment repo to be sufficient, although you'll need to tweak it as per the upcoming changes to the curriculum.
Run ./setup.sh to install a single-node cluster (default).
Run ./setup.sh to install a multi-node cluster with one control plane and 2 worker nodes.
The setup.sh script installs:
- Calico for testing Network Policies
- Ingress NGINX for testing Ingress
All other software is currently installed using a helmfile. I'm planning on using Argo CD instead in the near future.
I'm using nip.io for the below resources.
An ingress resource is created for accessing the Argo CD API Server. Go to http://argocd.127.0.0.1.nip.io and then follow the rest of the login instructions.
Ingress has been enabled via the values-kube-prometheus-stack.yaml file. Go to http://prometheus.127.0.0.1.nip.io to access the server.
Ingress has been enabled via the values-kube-prometheus-stack.yaml file. Go to http://grafana.127.0.0.1.nip.io and login with:
