Non-production Kubernetes Local Installers. Kubernetes distributions for local environments

• 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.

  • itnext.io: How to experiment locally on Kubernetes with minikube and your local Dockerfiles
• kind Kubernetes IN Docker - local clusters for testing Kubernetes. Kind is a tool for running local Kubernetes clusters using Docker container “nodes”. kind was primarily designed for testing Kubernetes itself, but may be used for local development or CI.
  • kubernetes-development-environment-in-a-box This project is geared toward running multiple isolated KinD cluster on a single instance. This project produces an AMI image that can run an instance that has Docker and multiple isolated Kubernetes clusters running in it using KinD. The main use case is to setup one node that can run multiple fully isolated Kubernetes cluster on it for development purposes.

• kccncna20.sched.com: A Walk Through the Kubernetes UI Landscape Working with Kubernetes clusters and workloads can be overwhelming, both for operators, as well as application developers. While kubectl is the de-facto standard interface to interact with Kubernetes' API, a graphical user interface can provide a better experience for newcomers and advanced users alike. This talk will look at the current landscape of Open Source Kubernetes web and desktop UIs, including Kubernetes Dashboard, Lens, Octant, Kubernetes Web View, and Headlamp. Particularly, how different dashboards are built, for what purpose they can be used, and how they compare in terms of functionality, so attendees can get the most out of the vast landscape of Kubernetes UIs.
