Minikube and kubectl - Local Kubernetes Cluster
Minikube - Local Cluster Setup
Minikube is a utility we can use to run Kubernetes (k8s) on our local machine. It creates a single node cluster contained in a virtual machine (VM).
Minikube implements a local K8s cluster
Useful for local K8s application development, because running a test cluster would be complex
Control Plane and Worker processes run on ONE machine
Run Minikube either as a container or virtual machine on your laptop, so we need a container runtime or virtual machine manager on our laptop
KUBECTL
The Kubernetes command-line tool, kubectl, allows us to run commands against Kubernetes clusters. You can use kubectl to deploy applications, inspect and manage cluster resources, and view logs.
