Private environments

• Each person gets their own Kubernetes cluster

• Each person should have a printed card with connection information

• We will connect to these clusters with kubectl

• If you don't have kubectl installed, we'll explain how to install it shortly

• You will also want to install jq

Doing or re-doing this on your own?

• We are using AKS with kubectl installed locally

• You could use any managed k8s

• You could also use any cloud VMs with Ubuntu LTS and Kubernetes packages or binaries installed
