To start the Kubernetes test environment, we first must ensure there's no instance of minikube running as follows:

When the previous command finishes, a new Kubernetes environment should be ready to be used.

For our Kubernetes test environment, we'll be building upon the lessons learned in Chapter 5, Running a Prometheus Server, and using Prometheus Operator in our workflow. Since we already covered the Prometheus Operator setup, we'll deploy all the required components without going over each one of them.
