Prerequisites

• Docker for Desktop installed: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop
• Helm v3 installed: https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/
• Kubectl installed: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/
• Consul cli installed: https://www.consul.io/downloads.html

Ensure your Kubernetes cluster is working

1. Go into the settings of Docker for Desktop and ensure that the built-in Kubernetes cluster is running.

1. Ensure you're in the right kubectl context:

   kubectl config current-context
   docker-desktop

2. If you're not, run

   kubectl config use-context docker-desktop

3. Check that the nodes are as expected

   kubectl get node
   NAME             STATUS   ROLES    AGE     VERSION
   docker-desktop   Ready    master   3h22m   v1.14.8

4. If you wanna be cool, alias kubectl to k

   alias k=kubectl

Workshop Overview

1. Deploy a test application
2. Install Consul on Kubernetes using the Consul Helm Chart
