Drive the cluster

This terminal mirrors the real ct-dk8s lab cluster — the same nodes, the same shopline workloads, the same output you saw in the videos. Type a command and it responds as the real cluster would, with a note explaining what just happened. Everything here also works verbatim against a real cluster you build with the scripts in lab/.

Guided exercises

Work through these in order. Click try it to run the command in the terminal above.

Run it for real

StepCommandWhat you get
1 · Clusterbash lab/10-cluster-up.shA real 4-node kind cluster, k8s v1.33, 3 zones
2 · Imagesbash lab/20-build-images.shThe catalog & orders images — fat and optimized, loaded into the cluster
3 · Appbash lab/30-app-up.shThe whole shopline stack, serving on http://127.0.0.1:31080
4 · Explorebash lab/capture/capture.shRuns every demo from the course and records the output — the same file this course replays

Requirements: an Ubuntu box with Docker and kind. The scripts are idempotent and never touch other clusters on the host.
