🚀 Day 10 of My Cloud Journey: Setting Up Kubernetes with Kind & kubectl on AWS EC2

After getting hands-on with Docker, the next natural step in my journey was Kubernetes — the backbone of modern container orchestration. Today, I took my first step into Kubernetes by setting up a cluster using Kind and kubectl on an AWS EC2 instance ☁️ 🧩 Why Kubernetes? While Docker helps us run containers, managing multiple containers across environments becomes complex. 👉 That’s where Kubernetes comes in: Automates deployment and scaling Ensures high availability Manages container lifecycle efficiently This is exactly what real-world systems use in production. ⚙️ My Setup (AWS EC2) Instead of using local machine, I chose AWS EC2 to simulate a real-world environment. 🔹 Why EC2? Closer to production setup Better for remote access and testing Helps understand cloud infrastructure 🛠️ Tools I Installed 1. kubectl (Kubernetes CLI) kubectl is the command-line tool used to interact with Kubernetes clusters. 🔹 Install latest version: curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s http
