The Kubernetes web based dashboard can make it easy to see the health and activity in your Kubernetes container environment. I'l show you how to run the Kubernetes monitoring dashboard on a local multi-node cluster using this guide. All this work was done on a local machine and not in a cloud environment. The Kubernetes container orchestration environment is primarily command line and API based. They do have a graphical dashboard that can be used to surf through your Kubernetes cluster, the deployments and other information.  The dashboard is not difficult to install but it does have a few hidden corners.   Topology We're going to run a 3 worker node Kubernetes cluster.  We'll deploy 6 replicant copies of Nginx into the cluster along with the dashboard components.  Note that the dashboard installs agents into each of the nodes.

You can run multi-node Linux Kubernetes clusters with full Linux command line support using the KIND project for Kubernetes. Lets walk through how you can set up a multi-node Kubernetes cluster on a single machine as a learning environment and CI/CD testing environment. Video Windows 10 - WSL2 - Docker The best way to run Linux Docker containers on Windows 10 is with the WSL2 integration.  Docker will offer to enable WSL2 integration as part of its' installation if you are running a late enough version of Windows 10.  All of the commands are the same from the windows prompt or from a unix prompt.  Open a Linux/Unix prompt if you have WSL2 or are running this on a mac. Open a GIT Bash prompt on Windows with Docker without WSL2 Install, Enable and Verify Open up a Linux command prompt. Change directory to a writable directory. The script below will need it.
