Scenario:
Let’s create a Virtual Kubernetes cluster with Nexus installed in it in 7 minutes with Klusternetes(KNTS)
Introduction :
Nexus Repository OSS is an open-source repository that supports many artifact formats, including Docker, Java, and npm. With the Nexus tool integration, pipelines in your toolchain can publish and retrieve versioned apps and their dependencies by using central repositories that are accessible from other environments.
Klusternetes is a platform that allows you to create a Kubernetes cluster in a few seconds. It also provides some of the leading DevOps tools as add-ons while creating your Cluster and provides a Service URL for add-ons that have UI.
Steps:
Login to the klusternetes App. If you don’t have an account in the Klusternetes app check here to create one
Click on “Add cluster” in the top right corner which will lead you to a cluster creation page. Fill in the necessary fields and select a medium cluster and click next.
