Why do you need to install Kubernetes on your local machine?
At my company we use Mesos/Marathon and Kubernetes in production. We clearly need to install Docker on our desk to try out our images, but I fail to see why we would need a local K8s or marathon.
Yet I see multiple posts a day on HN saying they need tons of Ram to run their local cluster. Why is that? What do I miss?
- pranay01 7y agoI am assuming you upload your docker image to a container registry and use it in a deployment file to run on a k8s cluster. Many people run k8s in local machine to test if things are running as expected. Creating a docker image, uploading to a CR and deploying again is time consuming. You can run something like Kind (local k8s cluster) on your local machine to test things out. It would be more time efficient.
