With the `constellation mini` command, you can deploy and test Constellation locally without a cloud subscription. This mode is called MiniConstellation. Conceptually, MiniConstellation is similar to [MicroK8s](https://microk8s.io/), [K3s](https://k3s.io/), and [minikube](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/).
