Accompanying exercises for the Kubernetes PaaS Cluster Design course

This repository contains the accompanying practice tasks for the Kubernetes PaaS Cluster Design course.

To follow along the practice tasks, you have to options:

1. Install the following tools locally: kubectl, helm and a container engine like Docker
2. Use Gitpod with all tools pre-installed. Register and start Gitpod

Please make sure to initialize your setup as explained in the initial mail.

A note about PowerShell

Commands found in this repo were tested with PowerShell Core. You may have PowerShell Version 5 installed locally, which you can check with $PSVersionTable. In this case some commands, especially curl/Invoke-WebRequest behave quite different than bash or PowerShell Core. You may need to use wrapper such as (Invoke-WebRequest <URL>).Content.

Additional tooling

In some practice tasks you need more tools. Use the following command to start a container with all required tools (it also includes kubectl and helm):

docker run --rm -it -v /path/to/the/kubeconfig:/root/.kube/config -v /path/to/the/code:/code k8spaasclusterdesign.azurecr.io/tools/utilities:0.1.0

It will open a shell in the container, and then you can use kubectl, helm and trivy.
