A Vagrant/VirtualBox-based setup that provisions a distributed Kubernetes cluster (1 master + 3 nodes) with an optional Istio service mesh on a local machine. It is intended for proof-of-concept and demo use only, not production.
Use cases
- spin up a local multi-node kubernetes cluster for testing
- demo kubernetes with istio service mesh on a laptop
- learn how kubernetes components like etcd and apiserver are configured without kubeadm
- experiment with traefik, helm, and kubernetes dashboard locally
- set up a disposable cluster for cloud-native demos
When to choose
- you need a realistic distributed multi-node cluster on VMs rather than minikube
- you want to test istio and service mesh add-ons locally
- you are doing PoC or demo work and can spare 8GB+ RAM
When to avoid
- you need a production cluster
- you run Windows as your host
- your machine has limited resources - use a lightweight Docker-based alternative instead
- you need the latest Kubernetes version or VirtualBox 5.2+
