You need the kubectl command to control k8s. Install it according to your
platform requirements.
-On Ubuntu you can `sudo snap install kubectl`
+> [Note from](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl-macos/): You must use a kubectl version that is within one minor version difference of your cluster. For example, a v1.27 client can communicate with v1.26, v1.27, and v1.28 control planes. Using the latest compatible version of kubectl helps avoid unforeseen issues.

+We are currently on version `1.24`
+
+- On Ubuntu you can `sudo snap install kubectl` (How to install specific version of a `snap`?)
+- Install v1.24 [kubectl on Mac w/ Apple Silicon](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl-macos/). For Intel Macs, replace `arch="arm64"` with `arch="amd64"`

+ ```shell
+ ver="1.24"
+ arch="arm64"
+ curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/v${ver}.0/bin/darwin/${arch}/kubectl"
+ chmod +x kubectl
+ curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/v${ver}.0/bin/darwin/${arch}/kubectl.sha256"
