About:
Kind, or 'Kubernetes in Docker', is a tool for running local Kubernetes clusters using Docker container nodes. It is designed for testing and development, allowing users to quickly bootstrap a cluster that is lightweight and compliant with standard Kubernetes.
Key Features:
  • Runs clusters using Docker containers as nodes
  • Supports multi-node clusters and HA control planes
  • Fast lifecycle management for testing and CI/CD
  • Certified Kubernetes conformance
Use Cases:
  • Local Kubernetes development and testing
  • CI/CD pipeline testing for Kubernetes manifests
  • Reproducing upstream issues
Alternatives:
  • minikube – Uses a single node in a VM or container; Kind uses multiple containers for a more realistic multi-node setup.
  • k3d – Runs k3s in Docker; Kind runs upstream Kubernetes.
