Using Minikube to Create a Cluster

Minikube is local Kubernetes, focusing on making it easy to learn and develop for Kubernetes.

All you need is Docker (or similarly compatible) container or a Virtual Machine environment, and Kubernetes is a single command away: minikube start

Prerequisites:

• 2 CPUs or more
• 2GB of free memory
• 20GB of free disk space
• Internet connection
• Container or virtual machine manager, such as: Docker, QEMU, Hyperkit, Hyper-V, KVM, Parallels, Podman, VirtualBox, or VMware Fusion/Workstation
• A server running on one of the following operating systems: Ubuntu 22.04, 20.04, 18.04, 16.04 or any other Debian-based distribution like Linux, CentOS, or Fedora.
• Access to the root user

Now, let’s get started with the installation.

Installation Step:

In this article, we will be using Docker container as a base for Minikube.

1. To install Docker on Linux :

Update the installed packages and package cache on your instance.

sudo yum update -y
