Walkthrough

Number of nodes
RAM
CPU
Kubernetes version

Setup Kubeinvaders, Ingress addons and Nginx deployment

make setup-cluster

How to reach the applications within the cluster

The two applications can be accessed at the following paths:

kubeinvaders.local
nginx.local

However, to reach them, you need to add these two entries to the /etc/hosts file, associating these DNS names with the output obtained from the "minikube ip" command.

Run

minikube ip

and add the following entries to the /etc/hosts file:

<your_minikube_ip> kubeinvaders.local
<your_minikube_ip> nginx.local

Now you can visit the kubeinvaders.local page and have fun!
