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)

# Windows: Download from https://k3d.io/
# Or use Docker Desktop Kubernetes (easier!)

2. Create Cluster

k3d cluster create mycluster --servers 1 --agents 2

3. Build Images

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

./deploy.sh

6. Check

kubectl get pods -n nats-backend

🎉 Done!

Your apps are running in Kubernetes!
