Introduction to Minikube

A way to run and test your Kubernetes deployments locally is through Minikube. Minikube is a local Kubernetes engine that we can deploy and test our Kubernetes application on.

Since Minikube is not a fully operational Kubernetes cluster, in the context of having some highly available master nodes and some node groups attached, we are limited to what we can test. For example, we cannot scale the underlying node group based on the increase of our workloads or spread the deployment of our applications to different availability zones. However, for our usage, it covers all the aspects of our application.
