Minikube
To develop the framework and the operators in an isolated Kubernetes cluster, use minikube.
MacOS:
brew install docker-machine-driver-hyperkit
sudo chown root:wheel /usr/local/opt/docker-machine-driver-hyperkit/bin/docker-machine-driver-hyperkit
sudo chmod u+s /usr/local/opt/docker-machine-driver-hyperkit/bin/docker-machine-driver-hyperkit
brew cask install minikube
minikube config set vm-driver hyperkit
Start the minikube cluster:
minikube start
minikube dashboard
It automatically creates and activates the kubectl context named minikube
.
If not, or if you have multiple clusters, activate it explicitly:
kubectl config get-contexts
kubectl config current-context
kubectl config use-context minikube
For the minikube cleanup (to release the CPU/RAM/disk resources):
minikube stop
minikube delete
