2. build the Docker image and push it to the Minikube Docker daemon.

make dev-up

3. Deploy the application to the Minikube cluster.

make dev-apply

4. Show the Cluster status.

make dev-status-all

5. Show the application logs.

make dev-logs

6. Open the application in the browser.

minikube service blog-admin -n blog-system
