Hello KodeKloud community!
I have few exciting things to share.
Do you have a Mac and need a simple way to create, manage VMs to setup local K8s cluster or test your Ansible scripts ?
Do need to a x86 VM on your ARM Mac to test your x86 programs/packages/binaries ?
We have built a whole host of plugins for UTM, a popular open-source VM manager for Mac. I would like to share those with KodeKloud community
Simplify your VM setup on macOS with UTM:
Vagrant Plugin: Easy VM management with vagrant_utm
Vagrant Boxes: Find ARM & x86 VMs for Debian and more on — HCP UTM Vagrant registry , vagrant/discover/utm
Kubernetes Ready: Try a 3-node K8s cluster demo — GitHub - naveenrajm7/K8s-utm: Kubernetes setup on Mac using Vagrant UTM
if you would like to build your own custom VMs . Eg: For KodeKloud courses , there are tools for that too.
Packer Plugin: Build custom VMs with packer-plugin-utm, naveenrajm7/packer-plugin-utm
Prebuilt OS Images: Popular OS Packer recipes, including Windows & OpenBSD —
naveenrajm7/utm-box
All these tools make UTM, a perfect option for DevOps workflows with Kubernetes, Ansible, and lightweight VM setups on Mac! ![]()
If you tried any of these , I would like you hear how it works for you and do let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
