Running Kubeflow locally with MiniKF

 If we want to get started quickly or prototype our application locally, we can avoid setting up a cloud account and instead use virtual machines to simulate the kind of resources we would provision in the cloud. To set up Kubeflow locally, we first need to install VirtualBox(https://www.virtualbox.rog/wiki/Downloads)to run virtual machines, and Vagrant to run configuration for setting up a Kubernetes control plane and Kubeflwo on VirtualBox VMs(https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html)

Once you have these dependencies installed, create a new directory, change into it, and run:

vagrant init arrito/minikf

vagrant up

This initializes the VirtualBox configuration and brings up the application. You can now navigate to http://10.10.10.10/ and follow the instructions to launch Kubeflow and Rok (a storage volume for data used in experiments on Kubeflow created by Arrikto). Once these have been provisioned, you should see a screen like this(Figure 2.5):

We will return to these components later and go through the various functionalities available on Kubeflow, but first,  let's walk through how to install Kubeflow in the cloud.
