Why?

I started this project to improve my understanding of kubernetes, and to help me pass the Certified Kubernetes Administrator exam. It's an amalgamation of information gleaned from:

• The kubernetes local container installer, Kind.
• The official Kubernetes documentation at kubernetes.io/docs/.../install-kubeadm/.
• Mumshad Mannambeth's kubernetes-the-hard-way - using VirtualBox. I also took his course on Udemy, Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) with Practice Exam Tests, which I highly recommended if you're new to kubernetes.
• Kelsey Hightower's kubernetes-the-hard-way - using GCP. Check out the number of stars on this project!
• Other official sources (all shown).

I wanted something quite particular to my own needs/wants:

• To set up a full kubernetes cluster inside containers.

  So it works on my under-powered laptop.

• To use cri-o instead of docker/containerd.

  It looks like CRI-O is the future.

• To use kubeadm.

  To get a verifiably compliant kubernetes cluster running.
