Kubernetes lab boilerplate

A collection of tools and scripts to help you get started with Kubernetes in the local environment

Requirements

• Minikube (or K3d, Kind, etc.)
• Kubie
• Terraform
• Kustomize
• Helm
• Tools to manage Kubernetes resources (e.g: K9s, Lens, etc.)

Config colima to work with minikube

colima start --cpu 4 --memory 8 --dns 8.8.8.8,1.1.1.1

Setup minikube

# initalize the minikube cluster
minikube start --cpus <number_of_cpus> --memory <memory_usage> --kubernetes-version=<version> --driver=docker
# e.g: minikube start --cpus 2 --memory 4096 --kubernetes-version=v1.31 --driver=docker

# set the context to minikube
kubie ctx minikube

Setup KinD

sudo kind create cluster

# set the context to kind
kubie ctx kind-kind

Provision resources on k8s cluster

cd terraform
terraform init
terraform apply

Launch infrastructure with GitOps

• Simple GitOps instruction
• ArgoCD application template
