You need

• a GitHub account (to access this material and setup gitops flow)
• a working Kubernetes in the hands-on session (to s)
  • local multipass VM (recommended)
  • digitalocean VM

1. Install multipass on https://multipass.run

• support Windows 10 Pro+, Mac OS X, Linux
• Mac OS X (with homebrew installed): brew cask install multipass
• Ubuntu (or any Linux distro with snap installed): sudo snap install multipass --classic

2. Start Command prompt / Terminal
3. Execute multipass launch -d 30G -m 2G --name fluxcd-workshop 18.04
4. Depends on network condition, you need to wait for 5-20 mins.
5. Execute multipass shell fluxcd-workshop to obtain shell in the VMs
6. Execute curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | sh - in the VM
7. Depends on network condition, you need to wait for 5-10 mins.
8. You should have your local Kubernetes cluster installed. To verify, execute sudo kubectl get nodes, it should give you something like

NAME              STATUS   ROLES    AGE     VERSION
fluxcd-workshop   Ready    master   5m53s   v1.18.3+k3s1`
