Ever since Docker support was removed from Kubernetes, deploying a cluster on Ubuntu Server has been, shall we say, https://thenewstack.io/ubuntu-server-struggles-with-post-docker-kubernetes-installs/. I’ve had many a session where I wasn’t certain if my hair would make it through the deployment or not…

To get Kubernetes successfully deployed on Ubuntu, you have to go with the containerd runtime engine (where you once would have depended on https://thenewstack.io/deploy-a-kubernetes-cluster-on-ubuntu-server-using-containerd/?utm_content=inline-mention).

To deploy the cluster, you’ll need at least two instances of Ubuntu Server (I’m demonstrating on https://releases.ubuntu.com/22.04/) and a user with sudo privileges.

First, we’ll install two dependencies with the command: sudo apt-get install curl apt-transport-https -y
