Companion repository to https://medium.com/@jeremysf/visual-studio-code-github-codespaces-kubernetes-bonkers-c85acfee5148.

Navigate to https://github.com/codespaces and click “New codespaces”. When prompted, enter jeremysf/vscode-kind as the repository to start your new Codespace from.

Once your codespace is running, in the built-in terminal in Visual Studio Code, run the script:

$ ./create_k8s_cluster.sh

Boom. You now have a running Kubernetes cluster. Running, but um, empty.

Let’s populate it with some services. Run the script:

$ ./helm_upgrade.sh

A quick kubectl get services will show a bevy of running services:

$ kubectl get services
