# Steps:-

# For Docker Installation
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker.io -y
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER && newgrp docker

# For Minikube & Kubectl
curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64
sudo install minikube-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/minikube 

sudo snap install kubectl --classic
minikube start --driver=docker

test the minikube status

if everything is working fine, now create a nginx pod

ubuntu@ip-172-31-37-7:~$ kubectl run nginx --image=nginx
pod/nginx created

ubuntu@ip-172-31-37-7:~$ kubectl get pods
NAME    READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
nginx   1/1     Running   0          23s

Note: It is important to note that running Minikube on an EC2 instance is not recommended for production workloads. Instead, you should consider running a managed Kubernetes service on AWS, such as Amazon EKS.
