summary
Hands-on setup that boots local Kubernetes using podman replaces Docker Desktop and kind (one control plane + one worker, second cluster with a different k8s version), configures kubectl (contexts and kubeconfig), and adds shell productivity: oh-my-zsh/Powerlevel10k prompt shows current context/namespace, aliases and tab-completion, kube-plugins via krew (ctx/ns), and tools for colorized output and logs like kube-color and Stern colorizes logs per pod. Covers k9s and Lens for UI, Helm and kustomize for manifests, and links to a companion command-by-command tutorial.
