Setup Kubernetes

kubernetes is the default validation backend to run single- or multi-container workloads on a cluster of machines.

Prerequisites

Starting Kubernetes v1.20, Kubernetes deprecated docker as a runtime and used containerd instead. Follow the [instructions][instructions] to install and configure containerd on your system.

Setup Kubernetes

Follow the Ubuntu/CentOS instructions to setup a Kubernetes cluster. For full features, please install Kubernetes v1.21 or later.

---

You can build the workloads and run the workloads on the same machine by setting up a single-node Kubernetes cluster:

kubectl taint node --all node-role.kubernetes.io/master-
kubectl taint node --all node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane-  # >= v1.20
