In the earlier post, 1 - Scripting kubernetes-the-hard-way we discussed that I developed the scripts to save time when experimenting with local kubernetes, and later we reviewed the structure and purpose of the scripts. In this part, we will continue looking at the requirements for installation and perform the installation afterwards.

During preparation for my Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) and Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) exams I realized the value of having a local Kubernetes cluster that can be used to experiment. Initially, I followed the instructions from kubernetes-the-hard-way by Kelsey Hightower and manually built a local cluster on my Windows 10 laptop.
