This article talks about Cloud Native Computing Foundation(CNCF) and core projects under CNCF. What is Cloud Native Computing Foundation ? Let us take a baby step and try to see things in simple terms. In earlier days applications are built and deployed on specific production environment that run on popular OS such as Linux or windows. We used to set these OS specific environment properties as runtime config parameters to the application. As the cloud development became a norm, people started thinking about better ways to decouple runtime environment from the application codebase resulting in evolution of Docker containers. If an application’s functionality is split in to multiple docker containers as microservices, then orchestration of these containers became another nightmare. Later Kubernetes came in to picture to mange multiple docker containers that forms an application and orchestration. These two innovations along with other tools around them made it possible to port app...

Minikube is a tool that makes it easy to run Kubernetes locally. Here is the list of resources that will help you to set up Minikube on your machine along with Istio and other tools.
