Don’t have a Kubernetes cluster? No problem! You can set up a local development environment using Minikube. This guide walks through the set up of everything you need to run Dynamo Kubernetes Platform locally.

Install Minikube#

First things first! Start by installing Minikube. Follow the official Minikube installation guide for your operating system.

Configure GPU Support (Optional)#

Planning to use GPU-accelerated workloads? You’ll need to configure GPU support in Minikube. Follow the Minikube GPU guide to set up NVIDIA GPU support before proceeding.

Tip

Make sure to configure GPU support before starting Minikube if you plan to use GPU workloads!

Start Minikube#

Time to launch your local cluster!

Start Minikube with GPU support (if configured)

minikube start --driver docker --container-runtime docker --gpus all --memory=16000mb --cpus=8

Enable required addons

minikube addons enable istio-provisioner minikube addons enable istio minikube addons enable storage-provisioner-rancher

Verify Installation#

Let’s make sure everything is working correctly!

Check Minikube status
