Starting local Kubernetes v1.7.5 cluster… Starting VM… Getting VM IP address… Moving files into cluster… Setting up certs… Connecting to cluster… Setting up kubeconfig… Starting cluster components… Kubectl is now configured to use the cluster.

We have now launched an echoserver pod but we have to wait until the pod is up before curling/accessing it

via the exposed service.

To check whether the pod is up and running we can use the following:

$ kubectl get pod NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE hello-minikube-3383150820-vctvh 1/1 ContainerCreating 0 3s

We can see that the pod is still being created from the ContainerCreating status

$ kubectl get pod NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE hello-minikube-3383150820-vctvh 1/1 Running 0 13s

We can see that the pod is now Running and we will now be able to curl it:

$ curl $(minikube service hello-minikube –url) CLIENT VALUES: client_address=172.17.0.2 command=GET real path=/ query=nil request_version=1.1 request_uri=http://192.168.99.100:8080/

SERVER VALUES: server_version=nginx: 1.10.0 - lua: 10001

HEADERS RECEIVED: accept=/ host=192.168.99.100:31721 user-agent=curl/7.54.0 BODY: -no body in request-%
