Description of the tools: minikube, kind, and k3d.
Tools | Supported OS | Architecture | Automation | Additional features |
---|---|---|---|---|
minikube | Windows, macOS, Linux | x86-64, ARM | Possible | Monitoring, integration with hypervisors |
kind | Windows, macOS, Linux | x86-64, ARM | Easy | Quick startup |
k3d | Windows, macOS, Linux | x86-64, ARM | Easy | Quickly create clusters |
- Advantages: Ease of use, stability
- Disadvantages: Limited scalability
- Advantages: Speed of deployment, integration with Docker
- Disadvantages: Requires Docker installation
- Advantages: Fast deployment, support for multi-cluster configurations
- Disadvantages: Requires Docker installation
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/k3d-io/k3d/main/install.sh | bash
k3d cluster create mycluster
kubectl get nodes
kubectl create deployment hello-world --image=k8s.gcr.io/echoserver:1.4
kubectl expose deployment hello-world --type=LoadBalancer --port=8080
kubectl get services
A short demonstration of the recommended tool (k3d)
Docker has certain licensing restrictions, especially in enterprise environments. To avoid these restrictions, you can use Podman, which is a free and open source alternative to Docker.
Installing Podman and configuring it for use with Kubernetes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install podman
podman machine init
podman machine start
podman kube play myapp.yaml
- minikube: Recommended for local development
- kind: Good choice for CI/CD
- k3d: The best option for PoC (recommended).
