The blog post is part of a series detailing the process of running applications on Kubernetes, specifically focusing on setting up and managing a Kubernetes cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS) using Couchbase as the Docker container. It covers the steps for starting a Kubernetes cluster on AWS by utilizing Vagrant, creating a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), and launching a 4-node cluster with t2.micro instances. It explains how to adjust configurations, such as changing instance sizes and the number of worker nodes, and provides instructions for creating and managing Docker containers within the Kubernetes environment. The post also describes how to expose a pod as a Kubernetes Service using a load balancer, allowing external access to applications like the Couchbase Web Console, and concludes with the shutdown procedure of the AWS-based Kubernetes cluster.
