Make sure you have an existing CI/CD pipeline configured using your preferred CI/CD tool. If not, follow the instructions in Chapter 3, Building CI/CD Pipelines, to configure GitLab or CircleCI.

Clone the k8sdevopscookbook/src repository to your workstation to use the manifest files in the chapter9 directory, as follows:

$ git clone https://github.com/k8sdevopscookbook/src.git
$ cd src/chapter9

Make sure you have a Kubernetes cluster ready and kubectl configured to manage the cluster resources.
