+title: Setup a Kubernetes Cluster
+overview: Set up your Kubernetes cluster for the tutorial.
+weight: 2
+---
+
+{{< boilerplate work-in-progress >}}
+
+In this module, you set up a Kubernetes cluster that has Istio installed and a
+namespace to use throughout the tutorial.
+
+{{< warning >}}
+If you are in a workshop and the instructors provide a cluster for you,
+proceed to [setting up your local computer](/docs/examples/microservices-istio/setup-local-computer).
+{{</ warning >}}
+
+1.  Ensure you have access to a [Kubernetes cluster](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/kubernetes-basics/).
+    You can use the [Google Kubernetes Engine](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/quickstart) or the
+    [IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-getting-started).
+
+1.  Connect to your cluster and create an environment variable to store the name
+    of a namespace that you will use when you run the tutorial commands.
+    You can use any name, for example `tutorial`.
+
+    {{< text bash >}}
+    $ export NAMESPACE=tutorial
+    {{< /text >}}
+
+1.  Create the namespace:
+
+    {{< text bash >}}
+    $ kubectl create namespace $NAMESPACE
+    {{< /text >}}
+
+    {{< tip >}}
+    If you are an instructor, you should allocate a separate namespace per each
+    participant. The tutorial supports work in multiple namespaces
+    simultaneously by multiple participants.
+    {{< /tip >}}
+
+1.  Install Istio with strict mutual TLS enabled by selecting the `strict mutual
+    TLS` tab when you follow [the Kubernetes installation steps](/docs/setup/install/kubernetes/#installation-steps).
+
+1.  [Enable Envoy's access logging](/docs/tasks/observability/logs/access-log/#enable-envoy-s-access-logging).
+
+1.  Create a Kubernetes Ingress resource for these common Istio services using
+    the `kubectl` command shown. It is not necessary to be familiar with each of
+    these services at this point in the tutorial.
+
+    - [Grafana](https://grafana.com/docs/guides/getting_started/)

+    - [Kiali](https://www.kiali.io/documentation/getting-started/)
+
+    The `kubectl` command can accept an in-line configuration to create the
+    Ingress resources for each service:
+
+    {{< text bash >}}
+    $ kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
+    apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
+    kind: Ingress
+    metadata:

+    the cluster details, the service account, the credentials and the namespace of the participant.
+    The `kubectl` command uses the configuration file to operate on the cluster.
+
+    Generate a Kubernetes configuration file for each participant:

+    EOF
+    {{< /text >}}
+
+1.  If you are setting up the cluster for yourself, copy the

+    local computer, where `${NAMESPACE}` is the name of the namespace you
+    provided in the previous steps. For example, `tutorial-user-config.yaml`.
+    You will need this file later in the tutorial.
+
+    If you are an instructor, send the generated configuration files to each

+title: Run a Microservice Locally
+overview: Learn how to work on a single service on your local machine.
+weight: 10
+---
+
+{{< boilerplate work-in-progress >}}
+
+Before the advent of microservice architecture, development teams built,
+deployed and ran the whole application as one large chunk of software. To test a
+small change in their module not merely by unit testing, the developers had to
+build the whole application. Therefore the builds took large amount of time.
+After the build, the developers deployed their version of the application into a
+test server. The developers ran the server either on a remote machine, or on their
+local computer. In the latter case, the developers had to install and operate a
+rather complex environment on their local computer.
+
+In the era of microservice architecture, the developers write, build, test and
+run small software services. Builds are fast. With modern frameworks like
+[Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) there is no need to install and operate
+complex server environments to test a single service, since the service runs as
+a regular process. You do not have to deploy your service to some environment to
+merely test it, so you just build your service and run it immediately on your
+local computer.
+
+This module covers the different aspects involved in developing a single service
+on a local machine. You don't need to write code though. Instead, you build,
+run, and test an existing service: `ratings`.
+
+The `ratings` service is a small web app written in
+[Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) that can run on its own. It performs similar
+actions to those of other web apps:
+
+- Listen to the port it receives as a parameter.
+- Expect `HTTP GET` requests on the `/ratings/{productID}` path and return the
+  ratings of the product matching the value the client specifies for `productID`.
+- Expect `HTTP POST` requests on the `/ratings/{productID}` path and update the
+  ratings of the product matching the value you specify for `productID`.
+
+Follow these steps to download the code of the app, install its dependencies,
+and run it locally:
+
+1. Download
+    [the service's code]({{< github_blob >}}/samples/bookinfo/src/ratings/ratings.js)
+    and
+    [the package file]({{< github_blob >}}/samples/bookinfo/src/ratings/package.json)
+    into a separate directory:
+
+    {{< text bash >}}
+    $ mkdir ratings
+    $ cd ratings
+    $ curl -s {{< github_file >}}/samples/bookinfo/src/ratings/ratings.js -o ratings.js
+    $ curl -s {{< github_file >}}/samples/bookinfo/src/ratings/package.json -o package.json
+    {{< /text >}}
+
+1. Skim the service's code and note the following elements on the code:
+    - The web server's features:
+        - listening to a port
+        - handling requests and responses
+    - The aspects related to HTTP:
+        - headers
+        - path
+        - status code
+
+    {{< tip >}}
+    In Node.js, the web server's functionality is embedded in the code of the application. A Node.js
+    web application runs as a standalone process.
+    {{< /tip >}}
+
+1. Node.js applications are written in JavaScript, which means that there is no
+    explicit compilation step. Instead, they use [just-in-time compilation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-in-time_compilation). To build a Node.js application, then means to install its dependencies. Install
+    the dependencies of the `ratings` service in the same folder where you
+    stored the service code and the package file:
+
+    {{< text bash >}}
+    $ npm install
+    npm notice created a lockfile as package-lock.json. You should commit this file.
+    npm WARN ratings No description
+    npm WARN ratings No repository field.
+    npm WARN ratings No license field.
+
+    added 24 packages in 2.094s
+    {{< /text >}}
+
+1. Run the service, passing `9080` as a parameter. The application then listens on port 9080.
+
+    {{< text bash >}}
+    $ npm start 9080
+    > @ start /tmp/ratings
+    > node ratings.js "9080"
+    Server listening on: http://0.0.0.0:9080
+    {{< /text >}}
+
+{{< tip >}}
+The `ratings` service is a web app and you can communicate with it as you would
+with any other web app. You can use a browser or a command line web client like
+[`curl`](https://curl.haxx.se) or [`Wget`](https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/).
+Since you run the `ratings` service locally, you can also access it via the
+`localhost` hostname.
+{{< /tip >}}
+
+1. Open [http://localhost:9080/ratings/7](http://localhost:9080/ratings/7) in
+    your browser or access `ratings` using the `curl` command:
+
+    {{< text bash >}}
+    $ curl localhost:9080/ratings/7
+    {"id":7,"ratings":{"Reviewer1":5,"Reviewer2":4}}
+    {{< /text >}}
+
+1. Use the `POST` method of the `curl` command to set the ratings for the
+    product to `1`:
+
+    {{< text bash >}}
+    $ curl -X POST localhost:9080/ratings/7 -d '{"Reviewer1":1,"Reviewer2":1}'
+    {"id":7,"ratings":{"Reviewer1":1,"Reviewer2":1}}
+    {{< /text >}}
+
+1. Check the updated ratings:
+
+    {{< text bash >}}
+    $ curl localhost:9080/ratings/7
+    {"id":7,"ratings":{"Reviewer1":1,"Reviewer2":1}}
+    {{< /text >}}
+
+1. Use `Ctrl-C` in the terminal running the service to stop it.
+
+Congratulations, you can now build, test, and run a service on your local computer!
+
+You are ready to learn how to package the service into a container.
