A few steps to install a small Kubernetes cluster
kubeadm Quickstart

kubeadm is a tool built to provide best-practice “fast paths” for creating Kubernetes clusters. It performs the actions necessary to get a minimally viable, secure cluster up and running in a user-friendly way. kubeadm’s scope is limited to the local node filesystem and the Kubernetes API, and it is intended to be a composable building block of higher-level tools.

In this lab, you will learn how to:

    ☐ Install Kubernetes using kubeadm on Linux
    ☐ Inspect the health of a basic Kubernetes cluster
    ☐ Access a Kubernetes Dashboard
    ☐ Add worker nodes to a cluster

kubeadm is a command-line tool maintained by the core Kubernetes group. It is often used by people who install self-configured Kubernetes clusters. kubeadm is also used as the core for other installers that provision open source and commercial Kubernetes clusters. Projects like MicroK8s, K3s, minikube, KubeKey, and a few others rely on the core functionality of kubeadm.
