Kubernets’s is a demanding technology and needs lots of hands on and through practise to master it. Luckily we have tools to bootstrap single node cluster on kubernete’s where we can go, practice and get our hands dirty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WE are going to talk about everyone’s favourite Minikube, a single node cluster bootstrapping tool, we are going to install minikube on and EC2 instance \ud83d\ude42 Kubernetes + AWS = Fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s start with launching EC2 instance and doing SSH into it, I’m starting a micro instance having minimum of two 2 cores of CPU<\/em><\/strong> of ubuntu 18+ LTS version for this demo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Minikube requires minimum of two cores to run as per latest update<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Step 1. Install Kubeclt command line client for minikube, which is used to interact with kubernete’s cluster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 2. change permission of the binaries, and move to user folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 3. Install docker, there are many ways to do it. We will use shell script for this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 4. Install minikube, one can combine the commands into one command with &&<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 5. Become root, for missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 6. Start minikube, with no vm args<\/p>\n\n\n\n Steps 7. Check status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thats all folks !<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
