Multipass
There are many ways to install local K8s cluster on local laptop , including :
- Docker desktop with K8s
- WSL2 with K3S or Kind
- Redhat CRC
In this blog I will review another option with the latest Ubuntu 20.04 using multipass with microck8s.
Multipass is a simple provisioning tool from Canonical.
highlights of multipass are :
- Provide simple way to spin up VM - similar to vagrant , but more simple and intuitive to use.
- Leverage cloud init mechnism to set up the vm during startup, as standard cloud instances.
- Provides similar capabilities as WSL2 on Windows
I will demonstrate a quick Jenkins installation. Disclaimer: the commands I am using are for demo only.
