You might want to also clean up some of the work you did on your local machine. Remember, we have a running Kubernetes cluster, and we have also built a ton of images.

Stopping Minikube

To stop Minikube, and the VM that it runs, run minikube stop .  You can bring your local cluster back online at any time by running minikube start

Stopping Running Containers

You might still have some containers running on your machine.  Try a docker ps .  You can then run docker stop <container_id> to clean up any running containers

Clearing the Build Cache

All the images that we built and ran during the course are cached on your local machine - they might be taking up to around 1GB of space.  You can clean these up by running docker system prune
