Typically, you'd install the EFK stack on your own Kubernetes instance, but minikube gives this to us as an add on. As we can see in the minikube's add-on list we have EFK that starts off as disabled. So let's go to our terminal. Minikube add ons list. So I've enabled this by default. I'm going to start up minikube by doing a minikube start. However, I want to pass some additional parameters here. The ELK stack, or the EFK stack, ends up taking a lot of resources, so we want to pump up minikube with additional CPU and memory. It's recommended that you use at least four gigs, but I'm going to crank this up real high. And I'm going to use 16 gigs instead. And I'll use 4 CPUs. And I will wait for minikube to start up the cluster. And then we can take a look to see what it's doing. All right, our…
