Advanced Cloud Engineer Bootcamp set up
I am planning to sign up for Advanced Cloud Engineer Bootcamp and would like to know if I would be able to use either Docker Desktop or MiniKube for working on labs and assignments. If we have to use GCP, what needs to be done prior to starting the course?
Thanks

Hi @kcnu,
Welcome to the Advanced Cloud Engineering Bootcamp. The Bootcamp includes several courses, and each course has separate requirements for their own lab environments. Therefore, no prior preparation is required for each course. Once you begin a course, in the introductory sections you will find instructions or recommendations on how to setup the lab environment for that particular course, and any alternatives where possible.
Although the exercises are presented in a specific environment, and instructors encourage learners to perform the exercises in similar environments, you may be able to run exercises on other environments as well, but keep in mind that any inconsistencies encountered will be more difficult to troubleshoot, as each learner's environment will introduce different moving parts into the issue.
The reason behind a specific lab environment is that learners should focus on the curriculum, until they become familiar and comfortable with the commands and tools presented, and only after move the exercises into different environments to gain more experience.
With that in mind, the Containers Fundamentals course has its own lab environment setup guide, but I foresee no issues with Docker Desktop. However, the Kubernetes Fundamentals course has its own setup guide, including setup videos of the recommended GCE instances for the Google Cloud Platform, or EC2 instances on AWS. Using Minikube will limit many of the multi-node features explored in the course because Minikube does not provide you with a multi-node Kubernetes cluster.

Hi @cat6509,
As mentioned above, each course has its own system requirements and/or lab environment setup guide, which is found in the introductory chapters and/or in the downloadable lab material.

One thing I have been doing is use a setup similar to this:
https://gist.github.com/lizrice/69d3b28979391287176b3b7155a327b9
Add whatever is needed when I need them in terms of packages. However, this is a single host kubernetes - like a minikube but some multi-node scenarios will not work in this setup.
But it is a great learn spot for sure.
