• Local Install Option 1: Minikube A tool that makes it easy to run Kubernetes locally inside a Linux VM. It's aimed on users who want to just test it out or use it for development. It cannot spin up a production cluster, it's a one node machine with no high availability.
• Local Install Option 2: Docker Community Edition EDGE with kubernetes. Installing Kubernetes using the Docker Client Currently only available in Edge edition.
• Production Cluster Install Option 3: Kubernetes Cluster with Kops:
  • Minikube and docker client are great for local setups, but not for real clusters. Kops and kubeadm are tools to spin up a production cluster. You don't need both tools, just one of them.
  • On AWS, the best tool is kops
  • At some point AWS EKS (hosted kubernetes) will be available, at that point this will probably be the preferred option. (You won't need to maintain the masters).
  • For other installs, or if you can't get kops to work, you can use kubeadm
  • kubeadm is an alternative approach, kops is still recommended (on AWS) - you also have AWS integrations with kops automatically
  • Setup kops in your windows with virtualbox.org and vagrantup.com . Once downloaded, to type a new linux VM, just type in cmd/powershell:
  1. Spin up ubuntu via vagrant:

      C:\ubuntu> vagrant init ubuntu/xenial64
      C:\ubuntu> vagrant up
      [...]
      C:\ubuntu> vagrant ssh-config    
      C:\ubuntu> vagrant ssh
  

  2. Runt kops installer:

      curl -LO https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/releases/download/$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/kubernetes/kops/releases/latest | grep tag_name | cut -d '"' -f 4)/kops-linux-amd64
      chmod +x kops-linux-amd64
      sudo mv kops-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/kops
  

• Production Cluster Install Option 4: Kubernetes Cluster with Kubeadm It works on any deb / rpm compatible Linux OS, for example Ubuntu, Debian, RedHat or CentOS. This is the main advantage of kubeadm. The tool itself is still in beta (Q1 20180), but is expected to become stable somewhere this year. It's very easy to use and lets you spin kubernetes cluster in just a couple of minutes.

  • Install RedHat OKD 3.10 on your development box: This repository is a set of scripts that will allow you easily install the latest version (3.10) of OKD in a single node fashion. What that means is that all of the services required for OKD to function (master, node, etcd, etc.) will all be installed on a single host. The script supports a custom hostname which you can provide using the interactive mode.]
  • A few other options to use OKD locally include oc cluster up and minishift. These may be a better fit for your use case if you only need a quick throwaway environment.
