Running Kubernetes locally or in a homelab doesn’t require a cloud account. If you have a Linux host with KVM support, you can provision virtual machines with Terraform’s dmacvicar/libvirt provider, configure them with Ansible, and end up with a reproducible, single-node cluster that mirrors how you’d build real infrastructure. minus the cloud bill. This guide walks through every layer: host prerequisites, Terraform configuration, cloud-init bootstrapping, Ansible playbooks for kubeadm, and post-install verification.
