Virtlet is a Kubernetes runtime server which allows you to run VM workloads, based on QCOW2 images.
To run local environment, please install docker-compose at least in 1.8.0 version. If your Linux distribution is providing an older version, we suggest to use Python virtualenv(wrapper):
apt-get install virtualenvwrapper
mkvirtualenv docker-compose
pip install docker-compose
If you have docker-compose ready to use, you can set up the virtlet dev environment by doing:
cd contrib/docker-compose
docker-compose up
