README

This repository provides instructions for creating a virtual environment for working with Kubernetes using Python and kubectl.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed:

• Python 3
• pip package manager
• curl command-line tool

Installation

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to create your virtual environment.

2. Run the following command to create a new virtual environment named k8s-env:

   bashCopy code

   python -m venv k8s-env

3. Activate the virtual environment:

   bashCopy code

   source k8s-env/bin/activate

4. Install the kubernetes package with pip:

   bashCopy code

   pip install kubernetes

5. Download and install kubectl with the following commands:

   bashCopy code

   curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/$(uname | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')/amd64/kubectl" chmod +x kubectl sudo mv kubectl /usr/local/bin/

   After following these steps, you should have a working environment for interacting with Kubernetes using Python and kubectl. To verify that your installation was successful, run the following command:

   bashCopy code

   kubectl version

   This should display the version of kubectl that you just installed.

Usage

To use the virtual environment, make sure it is activated:

bashCopy code

source k8s-env/bin/activate

You can then use the kubernetes package within Python, as well as the kubectl command-line tool, to interact with Kubernetes.

When you are finished working with the virtual environment, you can deactivate it with the following command:

bashCopy code

deactivate

This will return you to your normal shell environment.
