You'll need to have your Google Cloud Platform account enabled and logged in, or you can use a local Minikube instance of Kubernetes. You can also use Play with Kubernetes over the web: https://labs.play-with-k8s.com/. There's also the Katacoda playground at https://www.katacoda.com/courses/kubernetes/playground.
You'll also need GitHub credentials, the setting up of which we'll go over later in this chapter. Here's the GitHub repository for this chapter: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Getting-Started-with-Kubernetes-third-edition/tree/master/Code-files/Chapter12.
