Easy Home Lab Setup of KIND & MicroK8s
After installing minikube on my Ubuntu VM which is running in Vagrant, on top of my windows 10 desktop. I started to notice some performance issues which ended up with frequent minikube restarts and constant VM reboots. Then on the internet, I found another way or actually two ways to run my k8s cluster lab setup on my local virtual environment using KIND & MicroK8s , which i would like to share with the community.
