    LFS258 Kubernetes Fundamentals

    So you've heard of Kubernetes but have no idea what it is or how it works? Then this is the course for you. It will take you from zero to knowing how to deploy a containerized application and manipulating resources via the API.

    Hi, 

    When you install VMware on your personal Windows 7 workstation, you have the option of spinning up a single Ubuntu VM and install minikube on it, which will give you a single node cluster, or by spinning up 1, 2, or more separate Ubuntu VMs you can replicate the master/worker nodes cluster built with kubeadm, as described in the labs. 

    However, my personal favorite and less hassle is to use either GCP (which I am using now) or AWS to spin up your Ubuntu VMs. Both GCP and AWS give you 1 free year to play around in the cloud, and by doing so you get the true benefits of using Kubernetes on top of Ubuntu VMs in the cloud.

    Good luck!

    Hi here's my solution so far for progressing through the labs. I'm using Oracle's VirtualBox as my VM admin software. With that software, I've installed an Ubuntu 16.04 Linux virtual machine. Inside the virtual machine's window I'm using the terminal to install the docker & kubernetes software packages.

    I hope this helps you get started and learning Kubernetes. Please feel free to ask questions. :-)

    Regards,

    Sean

    I was having problems with my local VM lab running Lab 3.1. I have since switched to AWS's free tier of nodes and have successfully completed this lab.

    Hi Sean, @sdalziel

    I attempted to run Lab 3 on vbox Ubuntu VMs, and I was able to complete the exercises. In the topic below I posted some of the steps and my findings. I hope this helps.
