Configuration

Please enable a kubernetes cluster on your local machine using the docker desktop dashboard.

1. From the docker desktop tray select Dashboard
2. Select the gear icon in the upper right
3. Select Kubernetes from the list on the left
4. Check the Enable Kubernetes checkbox -- this will take a minute or two to determine if it is running.
5. Verify installation by runing kubectl get pods --all-namespaces and seeing output of running system containers.

If you run in to trouble no sweat. We will have time to cover this.
