Running a Kubernetes cluster

This tutorial covers the following end-to-end tasks required to run a Kubernetes cluster with the help of an extension:

  • Installing the extension
  • Installing CLI on your local machine
  • Applicable on Windows: Configure Podman on WSL
  • Creating and running a Kubernetes cluster

You can use extensions, such as Kind and Minikube to start a local Kubernetes development cluster. When you have a running Kubernetes cluster, you can easily develop and test Kubernetes applications before deploying them to production. This tutorial focuses on creating a Kubernetes cluster using the Minikube extension.

Before you begin

Make sure you have:

Installing the extension

  1. Go to Extensions > Catalog.

  2. Find the Minikube extension using the search box.

  3. Click the Install icon. install the extension

  4. Select the Installed tab to check the Minikube extension is active. extension enabled

Installing CLI on your local machine

  1. Click the Minikube not found on your system icon in the status bar. binary not available

  2. Click Yes to download the Minikube binary.

  3. Click Yes to install the binary system-wide for accessibility on the command line.

  4. Enter your system password, if prompted. A notification of successful operation opens. binary successfully installed

  5. Click OK.

  6. Check the Minikube not found on your system icon disappears from the status bar.

Applicable on Windows: Configure Podman on WSL

To use the Minikube tool on Windows, you must have a Podman machine running in rootful mode.

  • By default, the Podman Desktop Settings enable you to create a Podman machine that runs in rootful mode.

    root mode enabled

Creating and running a Kubernetes cluster

  1. Go to Settings > Resources.

  2. In the Minikube tile, click Create new. create a new cluster

  3. Optional: Edit the cluster configuration, if required. cluster configuration

  4. Click Create. A notification of successful operation opens.

  5. Click Go back to resources.

  6. View that your Minikube cluster is running and a new minikube context is added in the status bar. Kube context added
