How to create a local development environment for Kubernetes?

Question

Kubernetes seems to be all about deploying containers to a cloud of clusters. What it doesn\'t seem to touch is development and staging environments (or such).

As specified before by Robert, minikube is the way to go.

Here is a quick guide to get started with minikube. The general steps are:

• Install minikube

• Create minikube cluster (in a Virtual Machine which can be VirtualBox or Docker for Mac or HyperV in case of Windows)

• Create Docker image of your application file (by using Dockerfile)

• Run the image by creating a Deployment

• Create a service which exposes your application so that you can access it.
