The only two requirements to get started are having Docker installed and the KinD binary.īefore getting started with KinD I have used Docker Desktop, but was missing the CNI capability there as well not able to run an entire Kubernetes cluster on a local machine. Today I like to walk you through my local Kubernetes setup with KinD. Getting started with Kubernetes these days is easy and does not require to be in the lucky position having access to a cloud provider subscription for playing around with managed Kubernetes like AKS, EKS or GKE.īut then you must choose which one of the available offerings you would like to use: minikube, Docker Desktop, MicroK8s, k3s/k3d or KinD?
