Phippy’s First Steps Into Kubernetes

" summary

Demos show Minikube (v1.38.1) starting a single-node cluster using ~2 CPUs and ~6,100 MB RAM — batteries included but heavy; kind spins up container-based nodes instantly but LoadBalancer services stay Pending by design; vcluster creates a DevCubeCon virtual cluster, installs MetalLB to get an external IP, and attaches an external T4 GPU node over a vcluster VPN successfully; KaaC boots each node as a lightweight VM on Apple silicon for isolated, fast nodes.
