Overview
For development purposes, you can use Minikube to create a single-node Kubernetes cluster on your local machine. However, for production or realistic testing environments, we strongly recommend setting up a multi-node cluster using kubeadm.
This guide will help you install Kubernetes version 1.31 using kubeadm. Refer to the official tutorial and an additional detailed guide linked below.
