K8s cluster on your local machine via k3d

There are many tools available in marketplace to standing up a k8s cluster on your local machine, few of there are - kind, minikube, minishift, k3s but I am doing to discuss k3d which is a wrapper on k3s and using docker to build up the cluster with very neat command. I am just loving it as take only few mins (depends on machine) and voila!! your local k8s cluster is ready.  Let's see explore the tool together. 

From k3d site:

k3d is a lightweight wrapper to run k3s (Rancher Lab’s minimal Kubernetes distribution) in docker. 

    k3d makes it very easy to create single- and multi-node k3s clusters in docker, e.g. for local development on Kubernetes.

Prerequisite: 

* Docker 

Installation:

# To install latest k3d

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/k3d-io/k3d/main/install.sh | bash

# To install any specific version of k3d

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/k3d-io/k3d/main/install.sh | TAG=v5.0.0 bash 

Once, k3d is installed on your local machine, Check the version - 

# version check

k3d --version 

# Install with 3 worker nodes

k3d cluster create --agents 3 <cluster-name> 

Uninstallation:

# Install with 3 worker nodes

k3d cluster delete <cluster-name>
