Alternative to Deploy NONRTRIC in Minikube

There is an alternative way, described in the procedure below to run NonRT-RIC kubenetes cluster in Minikube running on Oracle Virtual Box with Ubuntu 22.04.

Via an installation script that brings up Minikube and allow to deploy NonRT-RIC cluster on it. Besides, the Kubernetes GUI could be started to see overall deployment.

Prerequisite

VirtualBox version 6.1. (Can be downloaded from this page Download VirtualBox)

Install Ubuntu 22.04

Ubuntu version 22.04. (Can be downloaded from this page Download Ubuntu)

Basic configuration of Ubuntu on Virtual Box can be found below.

$ sudo apt install git

Install Minikube

#!/bin/bash
 
# Script to run as root in Ubuntu 22.04 running on Oracle Virtual Box.
# This will bring up MiniKube running. For further Non-RT RIC installation, the related block must uncomment and run.
# NOTE: Do 'sudo su' before running the script
# NOTE: Before start to installation, ensure that Curl, Git and Wget are ready to use!
