Docker for Windows or Mac : Since we are dealing with Docker Machine for creating Swarm cluster, we don’t really need native installers for Windows and Mac. Follow the instructions to download and install it. Kubectl: Kubectl is the command line tool to interact with the Kubernetes cluster. The best thing is that it can run on any machine that is capable of launching VirtualBox VMs. Minikube is a tiny VM that comes bundled with a single node Kubernetes cluster. Minikube: All good things in life come in small packages, and Kubernetes is not an exception. Follow these instructions on GitHub to get DVM on your machine. We will explore this tool in the later part of the tutorial. Like Node Version Manager and Ruby Version Manager, this nifty tool makes it super simple to switch between multiple versions of Docker CLI. DVM: It can get frustrating to deal with disparate Docker versions running within the same environment. Download the stable version of Docker Toolbox. We will extensively use Docker Machine for the configuration. Docker Toolbox: This is the essential component of our toolchain. Download the latest version of VirtualBox. VirtualBox: This is the core foundation on which we will configure the environment. 
What Do We Need?įirst things first, let’s make an inventory of the tools that we need. Though this is based on Mac, it will work with Microsoft Windows 10 with just a few modifications. It will walk you through all the prerequisites, and the basic concepts to deploy your first microservices application powered by Kubernetes.
This tutorial aims at enabling Docker developers to easily get started with Kubernetes. By no means this is meant to be a developer workstation but, with Minikube, I am able to carry a full-blown Kubernetes environment with me. I am playing with Kubernetes on the new 12” Gold MacBook with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage powered by a 1.1GHz Intel Core M3 processor. In its current form, it is extremely simple to turn your existing Mac or Windows machine into a powerful Kubernetes development environment. With each major release, Kubernetes is getting closer to the developer community. While there is a bit of truth in it, there are multiple ways to configure Kubernetes without getting overwhelmed. There is a general perception that Kubernetes is meant only for professionals with advanced infrastructure management skills.
