How to create a Kubernetes’s sandbox environment?. How to experience Kubernetes in Laptop/Desktop? MiniQube is developed for desktop/Laptop environment to experience the Kubernetes cluster. “Minikube” runs a single-node Kubernetes cluster inside the Virtual Machine on Laptop/Desktop with help of virtualization technology (Virtual Box, KVM, VMware Fusion). This article will walk through the deployment of Minikube on RHEL 7 / CentOS 7 using KVM virtualization.
Note: Virtualization (VT) required only to create the VM for MiniKube. (Not mandatory for actual Kubernetes deployment)
Envirnonemt:
- Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 / CentOS 7
- MiniKube
- Access to Base & Extra CentOS/Redhat Repository
Installing & Configuring KVM (Virtualization Technology)
1. Login to RHEL 7/CentOS 7 and install KVM packages.
[root@kubebase ~]# yum -y install qemu-kvm libvirt libvirt-daemon-kvm Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Determining fastest mirrors * base: mirrors.viethosting.com * extras: mirrors.viethosting.com * updates: mirrors.viethosting.com base | 3.6 kB 00:00:00 extras | 3.4 kB 00:00:02 updates | 3.4 kB 00:00:00 (1/4): base/7/x86_64/primary_db | 6.0 MB 00:00:03 (2/4): base/7/x86_64/group_gz | 166 kB 00:00:16 (3/4): extras/7/x86_64/primary_db | 201 kB 00:00:17 (4/4): updates/7/x86_64/primary_db | 5.0 MB 00:01:33 Resolving Dependencies
2. Start KVM services and enable to make it persistent across reboot.
[root@kubebase ~]# systemctl start libvirtd [root@kubebase ~]# systemctl enable libvirtd
3. Ensure that Laptop/Desktop is supporting the VT technology.

Validating Minikube Health status:
9. Check the Kubernetes cluster status and ensure all the components are running
[root@kubebase ~]# minikube status host: Running kubelet: Running apiserver: Running kubectl: Correctly Configured: pointing to minikube-vm at 192.168.39.250
10. Checking the minikube service list. Dashboard namespace is missing here.
[root@kubebase ~]# minikube service list |-------------|------------|--------------| | NAMESPACE | NAME | URL | |-------------|------------|--------------| | default | kubernetes | No node port | | kube-system | kube-dns | No node port | |-------------|------------|--------------|
11. Checking the “Minikube” docker environment.
[root@kubebase ~]# minikube docker-env export DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY="1" export DOCKER_HOST="tcp://192.168.39.250:2376" export DOCKER_CERT_PATH="/root/.minikube/certs" export DOCKER_API_VERSION="1.39" # Run this command to configure your shell: # eval $(minikube docker-env)
12. Checking the Kubernetes cluster info.
[root@kubebase ~]# kubectl cluster-info Kubernetes master is running at https://192.168.39.250:8443 KubeDNS is running at https://192.168.39.250:8443/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-dns:dns/proxy To further debug and diagnose cluster problems, use 'kubectl cluster-info dump'.
13. Get the Kubernetes node status.
[root@kubebase ~]# kubectl get nodes NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION minikube Ready 2m33s v1.14.2 [root@kubebase ~]# virsh list Id Name State ---------------------------------------------------- 1 minikube running [root@kubebase ~]#
14. How to access the “Minikube” VM and how to check the running containers for K8s? Execute “minikube ssh”
[root@kubebase ~]# minikube ssh
