- We first need to install Kubernetes on our local machine. To install using Docker (you might want to use Docker to build images), check out Install and turn on Kubernetes.
- There are various UI explorers for Kubernetes, one of my favorites is called K9Sk9s. To install, check out Install (k9scli.io).
- Add the server cluster credentials in the Kubernetes config file. The configuration is as follows:

- After adding the configs, you should be able to connect to the Kubernetes cluster using k9s. If your k9s is under one of the environments $PATH, you can simply run: k9s on any command line interface. It looks like the following:
If you don't see all pods running, it is probably because you're viewing a specific namespace. You can simply press '0' to view pods in all namespaces.
- To navigate between Services, Deployments, or Pods, you can type
:services or :deployments or :pods
