Run Kubernetes locally with Vagrant

Local Kubernetes cluster with Vagrant

This repo contains a Vagrantfile and a set of shell scripts to help you create a local Kubernetes cluster using Vagrant and VirtualBox. This is very useful for people willing to take CKA/CKAD/CKS exams.

Most of the work was forked from techiescamp/vagrant-kubeadm-kubernetes. The main difference is that this project uses containerd instead of cri-o, and Kubernetes dashboard is not available.

Some names were also changed to make it inclusive, example: Master to Control Plane.

Prerequisites

• Vagrant
• VirtualBox

Usage

1. Clone this repo
2. Change the config.yaml file to your needs
   1. This is important to change how much memory and CPU each VM will have and to set some components versions
3. Run vagrant up to create the VMs
4. Copy the kubeconfig file to your local machine

To stop or shutdown the cluster

Run vagrant halt to stop the VMs or vagrant suspend to suspend them.

To destroy the cluster
