Creating the Cluster

Set the correct OS= variable in Makefile - either darwin if you're running this on Mac, or linux if running on Linux.

You can start a cluster with:

make cluster

This will spin up 1 Kubernetes master and 3 minions. Creating the cluster downloads a kubectl binary and configures TLS, so you can run the following locally once the cluster is running:

kubectl get pods --all-namespaces 

You should see the following output (or similar):

illium:kube-cluster cd4$ ./kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
