====== Kubernetes App Lab ======
This is an advanced lab that builds on the [[lab:ansible_virtualbox_autoboot_linux:start|VirutalBox Linux Lab]].

This lab is sized small to be able to run on a mid-sized NUC with 4 physical CPUs (8 cores). However, it is much more enjoyable to build on a system with more cores (even if it is not a NUC). 16GB RAM and 500GB storage is the recommended  minimum.


Mission:
  * Create a Kubernetes lab environment using Oracle VirtualBox
  * Deploy demonstration web application to it
    * Pod with SQL server with persistent storage
    * Pod with 2 application servers, load balanced

Materials:
  * NUC
    * Recommend a more powerful NUC
      * 4 physical CPUs (8 cores) or more
      * 16GB RAM or more
      * 500GB storage or more

Network:
  * Router with DHCP for the host
  * Host running VirtualBox will bridge the guests to it's LAN interface
  * Guests will be assigned static IP addresses on the same network as the host, attached to the router

====== Project Overview ======
Before starting the Lab, you might review [[:Lab:Preparing NUCs for Labs]]. The will help you prepare all the NUCs for use.

This Lab was refactored, improved, and moved to GitHub in 2024.
