To find these areas and to generally get a better understanding of your cost structure, e.g. which team causes which cost, you should monitor the cost. For this, tools such as Kubecost or Replex can be very helpful.

However, the overview of the cloud providers can only give you a basic understanding that is only limitedly helpful for multi-tenant Kubernetes clusters and of course is not available in private clouds. Therefore, it often makes sense to use additional tools to measure your Kubernetes usage and costs. Some useful tools in this area are Prometheus, Kubecost, and Replex.

Network costs are optional and are enabled via the network-costs daemonset.

With the containerized Node.js/Express API, I could run multiple containers, scaling to handle more traffic. Using a tool called minikube, we can easily spin up a local Kubernetes cluster to horizontally scale Docker containers. It was possible to keep one shared instance of the database, and many APIs were routed with an internal Kubernetes load balancer.

Install Minicube - a tool that allows us to spin up a Kubernetes cluster in a local machine Run minikube start to start your Kubernetes cluster Run minikube dashboard to spin up a web-based user interface that allows you to manage your Kubernetes cluster

If you're just messing around, just use kind (https://kind.sigs.k8s.io) or minikube if you want VMs (https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io). Both work on ARM-based platforms.

You can also use k3s; it's hella easy to get started with and it works great.

A Kubernetes distribution: You need to install a Kubernetes distribution to create the Kubernetes cluster and other necessary resources, such as deployments and services. This tutorial uses kind (v0.18.0), but you can use any other Kubernetes distribution, including minikube or K3s.

Haven’t dabbled with minikube yet, but there’s a whole thread about this error here: https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/9798
