minikube in 1 min

minikube is a Kubernetes Cluster SetUp,

minikube is a tool that lets you run Kubernetes locally, it runs a single-node Kubernetes cluster on your personal computer.

Think of minikube as a service.
You need to start and stop it when you want to use it in a development context. We started minikube earlier by running:
minikube start / minikube stop

  • Starting the cluster configures a k8s “context” within ~/.kube/config.
    This entry defines the way in which kubectl will communicate with a cluster.
  • It’s a good idea to get into the habit of stopping your local cluster when not in use, as it will eat your system resources when idle.
