Dear reader,

In my search to a solution I managed to find a tutorial for Ubuntu.  
It explains how to install Cloud Foundry for Kubernetes and that worked great.

**The source is:** [devopsschool.com](http://devopsschool.com)  
**See this link:** [Getting Started with Cloud Foundry for Kubernetes using cf-for-k8s in Linux(Ubuntu) - DevOpsSchool.com](https://www.devopsschool.com/blog/getting-started-with-cloud-foundry-for-kubernetes-using-cf-for-k8s-in-linuxubuntu/)

Let me know what you think.

Cheers
