Creating a minikube cluster for testing

If you do not have an existing cluster, the ansible-ai-connect-operator can be deployed on a Minikube cluster for testing purposes. Due to different OS and hardware environments, please refer to the official Minikube documentation for further information.

This is an example of the output you should see.

$ minikube start --cpus=4 --memory=6g --addons=ingress
😄  minikube v1.23.2 on Fedora 34
✨  Using the docker driver based on existing profile
👍  Starting control plane node minikube in cluster minikube
🚜  Pulling base image ...
🏃  Updating the running docker "minikube" container ...
🐳  Preparing Kubernetes v1.22.2 on Docker 20.10.8 ...
🔎  Verifying Kubernetes components...
    ▪ Using image gcr.io/k8s-minikube/storage-provisioner:v5
    ▪ Using image k8s.gcr.io/ingress-nginx/controller:v1.0.0-beta.3
    ▪ Using image k8s.gcr.io/ingress-nginx/kube-webhook-certgen:v1.0
    ▪ Using image k8s.gcr.io/ingress-nginx/kube-webhook-certgen:v1.0
🔎  Verifying ingress addon...
🌟  Enabled addons: storage-provisioner, default-storageclass, ingress
🏄  Done! kubectl is now configured to use "minikube" cluster and "default" namespace by default

Once Minikube is deployed, check if the node(s) and kube-apiserver communication is working as expected.

This is an example of the output you should see.

$ minikube kubectl -- get nodes

It is not required for kubectl to be separately installed since it comes already wrapped inside minikube. As demonstrated above, simply prefix minikube kubectl -- before kubectl command, i.e. kubectl get nodes would become minikube kubectl -- get nodes

Let's create an alias for easier usage:

$ alias kubectl="minikube kubectl --"
