This project aims to learn the basics operations that a blockchain is composed of, as well as deploying a raw application with Docker and Kubernetes locally.
1. Start minikube: `minikube start --nodes 2 -p <cluster-name>`
2. Make deployment: `kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml`
3. Run LoadBalancer service: `kubectl apply -f blockchain_service.yaml`
4. Apply rbac.yaml file to run kubernetes API on python `kubectl apply -f rbac.yaml`
5. On a separate terminal run `minikube tunnel`
6. Execute a shell inside a pod: `kubectl exec --stdin --tty <pod-name> -- sh`
If you want to see some metrics enable the dashboard addon, and the metrics addon. Then just get the url to the dashboard with the command minikube dashboard --url -p <cluster-name>

This diagrams gives a visual representation of how Kubernetes is running the blockchain.
