🧪 Lab Notes – Getting Started

Welcome! This is your first notebook entry in the GROW program.
Use this space to document the setup of your Kubernetes learning environment and reflect on what you’re configuring.

✅ Goals

By the end of this section, you will:

  • Install and configure basic Kubernetes CLI tools
  • Create your first local Kubernetes cluster using kind
  • Deploy and inspect your first Pod
  • Verify your setup is working for the labs ahead

🛠️ Step-by-Step Setup Instructions

Step 1: Install kubectl

Follow the official guide:
➡️ https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/

Verify:

kubectl version --client

Step 2: Install kind (Kubernetes IN Docker)

Follow the official guide:
➡️ https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/

Verify:

kind version

Step 3: Create a Local Cluster

kind create cluster --name grow-lab

Check your nodes:

kubectl get nodes

Step 4: Deploy Your First Pod

kubectl run nginx --image=nginx
kubectl get pods

Describe it:

kubectl describe pod nginx

Delete it:

kubectl delete pod nginx
