Hello, I’m Dario Castellano and this is my personal page, D Repo (pronounced “the repo”) . I’m an IT Scientist with experience in digital identity, having worked on various projects related to blockchain, UI/UX, digital identity, amateur football and so on. I have contributed to IT research during my PhD and enjoy sharing insights on development tip and tricks, new findings in tech and notes on how I solved something.

Local K8s Setup

Posted: 2025-02-05 | Categories: tech | Tags: aws, devops, k8s

Configure Kubernetes Locally

Install kubectl
Install helm:
- brew install helm
Install AWS CLI:

curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/AWSCLIV2.pkg" -o "AWSCLIV2.pkg"
sudo installer -pkg AWSCLIV2.pkg -target /

At this point, by default, kubectl tries to verify the local cluster. This local cluster does not exist unless it has been initialized (Minikube, also usable via Docker Desktop or Orbstack).
