About:
cloud-provider-kind is a controller that runs inside a Kubernetes cluster created with KIND (Kubernetes IN Docker). It implements the Kubernetes cloud provider interface, allowing the cluster to automatically provision cloud resources like LoadBalancer Services by mapping them to Docker networking constructs. This enables realistic development and testing of cloud-native applications on a local machine without needing actual cloud infrastructure.
Key Features:
  • Implements the Kubernetes cloud-provider interface for KIND clusters
  • Automatically creates Docker network resources for LoadBalancer Services
  • Enables local testing of cloud-dependent applications
  • Supports dual-stack and IPv6 networking configurations
Use Cases:
  • Local development of applications requiring LoadBalancer Services
  • Testing cloud-provider dependent workloads without cloud costs
  • CI/CD pipelines needing realistic cluster behavior
Alternatives:
  • metallb – MetalLB is a general-purpose bare-metal load balancer, while cloud-provider-kind is specifically designed for KIND's Docker-based networking
  • k3d – k3d provides lightweight Kubernetes clusters with built-in load balancing, whereas cloud-provider-kind adds cloud-provider semantics to standard KIND clusters
