Discover Kubernetes Cluster Details

Introduction

In this challenge, you will perform a comprehensive health check of a Kubernetes cluster as a new cloud infrastructure intern at TechCorp. Your goal is to ensure the cluster's readiness for upcoming deployments by retrieving the full cluster information, listing all nodes, and verifying the status of each node using kubectl commands. You will complete these tasks in the ~/project directory, ensuring the Minikube cluster is running before executing any commands.

Examples

Example of node listing output:

NAME       STATUS   ROLES           AGE   VERSION
minikube   Ready    control-plane   10m   v1.23.3

Example of cluster information output:

Kubernetes control plane is running at https://192.168.49.2:8443
CoreDNS is running at https://192.168.49.2:8443/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-dns:dns/proxy

Hints

Remember to use kubectl commands to interact with the Kubernetes cluster
Check the cluster status before running detailed commands
Use --help flag with kubectl commands to get more information
Verify the Minikube cluster is running before executing tasks
