Awesome! You learned the architecture of one of the top most important tools "Kubernetes" in your previous task.
What about doing some hands-on now?
Let's read about minikube and implement k8s in our local machine
- What is minikube?
Ans:- Minikube is a tool which quickly sets up a local Kubernetes cluster on macOS, Linux, and Windows. It can deploy as a VM, a container, or on bare metal.
Minikube is a pared-down version of Kubernetes that gives you all the benefits of Kubernetes with a lot less effort.
This makes it an interesting option for users who are new to containers, and also for projects in the world of edge computing and the Internet of Things.
- Features of minikube
Ans :-
(a) Supports the latest Kubernetes release (+6 previous minor versions)
(b) Cross-platform (Linux, macOS, Windows)
(c) Deploy as a VM, a container, or on bare-metal
(d) Multiple container runtimes (CRI-O, containerd, docker)
(e) Direct API endpoint for blazing fast image load and build
(f) Advanced features such as LoadBalancer, filesystem mounts, FeatureGates, and network policy
(g) Addons for easily installed Kubernetes applications
(h) Supports common CI environments
Task-01:
Install minikube on your local
.
make sure you choose t2.medium for master nodes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker.io -y
curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64 sudo install minikube-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/minikube
Task-02:
Create your first pod on Kubernetes through minikube
minikube start
and when this type of error is coming then don't worry
use this👇👇👇
minikube start --driver=docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER && newgrp docker
minikube start --driver=docker
docker ps
minikube ssh (inside the minikube)
docker ps
exit
sudo snap install kubectl --classic
kubectl create namespace react-django-app
your image is already pushed in the docker hub(If you do not know how to push images in Docker Hub, then read my Docker articles, and you will understand.)
mkdir kubernetes-project
Create a pod2.yaml file
kubectl apply -f pod2.yaml
kubectl get pods --namespace=react-django-app
minikube ssh
docker ps
Thank you for reading this blog. Hope it helps.
