Required Kubernetes Programs

First, install some required programs:

  • homebrew - always install Homebrew first!
  • keybase - used to cryptographically validate the Terraform package
    • macOS: brew install --cask keybase
    • Install it, open it and configure it.
    • Leave keybase running during the Terraform install
  • Terraform
  • IntelliJ Community Edition
    • macOS: brew install intellij-idea-ce
      • install the Terraform plugin
      • Preferences > Plugins > Search: Terraform and HCL
      • Install this plugin and restart IntelliJ
  • helm 3.x
  • K9S Dashboard
    • macOS: brew install derailed/k9s/k9s

There are many more than this but these are a good foundation.
