I wanted a lightweight, reproducible way to explore how modern cloud-native tools work together — without a full complex setup. So, I built Simple K8s — a local minimal Kubernetes stack.

🛠️ Stack Overview
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Minikube | Local Kubernetes cluster |
| Helm | Kubernetes package manager |
| Envoy Gateway | Kubernetes native API Gateway |
| Knative Serving | Serverless platform with scale-to-zero support |
| Headlamp | User-friendly Kubernetes dashboard |
💡 Why I Built This
I wanted a setup that:
- Runs locally on my machine
- Quickly set up and clean up
- Uses real-world tools
- Let me experiment freely without worrying about costs
🎯 What It is For
- Learning Kubernetes Gateway API with Envoy Gateway
- Understanding Kubernetes native serverless deployments via Knative
- Playing with a modern Kubernetes dashboard (Headlamp)
- Experimenting with HTTP routing between multiple services
- Running sample apps in a safe, local environment
🚀 How to Use It
🏁 Quick Start
git clone https://github.com/dilanka-rathnasiri/simple-k8s.git
