Introduction

In this repo I gather short snippets of code for a small hands-on kubernetes demonstration. This demonstration is currently being performed with the local docker-for-desktop kubernetes cluster.

Alternatives for a local Kubernetes cluster

• kompose a tool to help users familiar with docker-compose move to Kubernetes, it takes a Docker Compose file and translates it into Kubernetes resources
