Chapter 12: Discovering other Kubernetes options

In this chapter, we will look at alternatives to using Docker's in-built support for running your own local Kubernetes single-node and multi-node clusters.

We will be discussing and looking at the following tools:

  • Minikube
  • Kind (Kubernetes in Docker)
  • MicroK8s
  • K3s

Technical requirements

We will be using one of the tools we discussed in Chapter 6, Docker Machine, Vagrant, and Multipass, along with some standalone tools that can be used to bootstrap your own local Kubernetes installation.

Again, the screenshots in this chapter will be from my preferred operating system, macOS
