Development with local Kubernetes on Mac

At work, we use Kubernetes to orchestrate our prod and dev environments.

When doing development I use Minikube. With it, I can concentrate on actual development without worrying too much about the security aspect of our big clusters.

Installing Minikube on Mac

brew install minikube 

And then start it with defaults

minikube start

As a result, the output in the terminal should look like this

It’s also nice to enable Kubernetes dashboard.
