Summary

This chapter was quite intense! You require a Kubernetes cluster to follow this book, and so we examined five ways in which to set up Kubernetes clusters on different platforms. You learned about minikube, which is the most common way to set up a cluster on a local machine. You also discovered kind, which is a tool that can set up multi-node local clusters, which is a limitation of minikube.

We learned about some of the Kubernetes learning environments and also explored the production-grade Kubernetes environments including three major Kubernetes cloud services, GKE, Amazon EKS, and AKS. These three services allow you to create a Kubernetes cluster on the cloud for you to practice and train with. This was just a quick introduction to these services, and we will have the opportunity to dive deeper into these services later. For the moment, simply pick the solution that is the best for you.

In the next chapter, we are going to dive into Kubernetes by exploring the concept...
