[Estimated Reading Time: 10 minutes] Following the Vagrant experiment (reminding me of a Bill Bailey metaphor… “a long walk down a windy beach to a cafe that was closed“) I next set about automating my VM creation using PowerShell, with greater success. Though still not perfect, the final gap to full automation is something I could close, if I wished. And we get to install kubernetes itself!
[Estimated Reading Time: 8 minutes] The first significant practical step in establishing my Bare Metal Kubernetes cluster was to provision 4 VM’s. At this point it is worth mentioning that actually installing Kubernetes is almost trivial once you have the necessary hardware in place. Since my ‘hardware’ was going to be virtual, this meant that provisioning the VM’s was by far the biggest job so after an initial manual install, so I set about automating as much of this process as I could.

[Estimated Reading Time: 6 minutes] Wrapping up this short series on duget, discussing RESTORE and UPDATE, arguably most important and useful commands in the duget repertoire.
[Estimated Reading Time: 3 minutes] We now know a little more about this duget thing, and have seen how to create a package. But a package cannot be consumed ‘in situ’ – it must be made available via a feed. Which brings us to the PUSH command. NOTE: Don’t worry, I have my priorities straight. This post was written before Liev arrived. 🙂

[Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes] I figured out the iterative insertion problem and my build pipeline is now TIGHT! Fixing it was super-easy in fact, barely an inconvenience.
