Lab · Hello Pico on Kubernetes with Crossplane

The lab for this lesson is the reusable Hello Pico on Kubernetes lab. It lives at the repository root so it can be reused from other courses that need a first runnable Kubernetes composition.

Where to go

Open the Hello Pico on Kubernetes lab and follow the walkthrough. It uses the shared lab template with these pages:

Target environment

The lab targets local minikube as its reference Kubernetes environment — small enough to run on a laptop, but a full Kubernetes control plane, which is what Crossplane extends. Version pins for minikube, the Kubernetes control plane, Crossplane, and the provider-kubernetes package are declared on the lab’s Objectives page.

What you will produce

By the end of the lab you will have the artifact hello-world-pico-on-kubernetes — matching the produces entry in courses/crossplane/metadata.yaml. The artifact is a directory containing the exact YAML manifests you applied to the cluster plus the captured greeting the composed Kubernetes Job printed.

  • Work through the reusable Hello Pico lab first if you have not already — this lab reuses the same greeting value.
  • Complete the Exercise on this lesson to lock in the mapping from the Pico pipeline onto Crossplane primitives before running the cluster steps.
