Vagrant Install ================= Assuming you have Vagrant (2.0+) installed with virtualbox (it may work with vmware, but is untested) you should be able to launch a 3 node Kubernetes cluster by simply running `$ vagrant up`.
This will spin up 3 VMs and install kubernetes on them. Once they are completed you can connect to any of them by running
`$ vagrant ssh k8s-0[1..3]`. ``` $ vagrant up Bringing machine 'k8s-01' up with 'virtualbox' provider... Bringing machine 'k8s-02' up with 'virtualbox' provider... Bringing machine 'k8s-03' up with 'virtualbox' provider... ==> k8s-01: Box 'bento/ubuntu-14.04' could not be found. Attempting to find and install... ... ... k8s-03: Running ansible-playbook...

In the same directory as the `Vagrantfile`, create a folder called `vagrant` and create `config.rb` file in it. You're able to override the variables defined in `Vagrantfile` by providing the value in the `vagrant/config.rb` file, e.g.: echo '$forwarded_ports = {8001 => 8001}' >> vagrant/config.rb and after `vagrant up` or `vagrant reload`, your host will have port forwarding setup with the guest on port 8001. Use alternative OS for Vagrant ============================== By default, Vagrant uses Ubuntu 16.04 box to provision a local cluster. You may use an alternative supported operating system for your local cluster. Customize `$os` variable in `Vagrantfile` or as override, e.g.,: echo '$os = "coreos-stable"' >> vagrant/config.rb The supported operating systems for vagrant are defined in the `SUPPORTED_OS` constant in the `Vagrantfile`.
