# Quick Start - Kubernetes in 5 Minutes

## 🎯 Goal
Run Kubernetes locally in containers and deploy your apps.

## ⚡ Fast Track

### 1. Install k3d (if not using Docker Desktop)
```bash
# Windows: Download from https://k3d.io/
# Or use Docker Desktop Kubernetes (easier!)
```

### 2. Create Cluster
```bash
k3d cluster create mycluster --servers 1 --agents 2
```

### 3. Build Images
```bash
cd E:\nats\kubernetes
docker build -f Dockerfile --target api -t fastapi-backend:latest .
docker build -f Dockerfile --target worker -t nats-worker:latest .
```

### 4. Update Manifests
- `manifests/fastapi-deployment.yaml`: Change image to `fastapi-backend:latest`
- `manifests/worker-deployment.yaml`: Change image to `nats-worker:latest`

### 5. Deploy
```bash
./deploy.sh
```

### 6. Check
```bash
kubectl get pods -n nats-backend
```

## 🎉 Done!

Your apps are running in Kubernetes!
