Kind - Kubernetes in Docker

Kind - Allow us to run Kubernetes in Docker. This is not a production-ready solution - however, has a lot of potential in order to make a safe and lightweight alternative option to Minikube.  Kind is built with Go and uses Docker API in order to get things spinning.
I got impressed with the speed thing runs with kind, this is an interesting alternative together with k3s and Minikube.




Getting Started with Kind

kind create cluster
export KUBECONFIG="$(kind get kubeconfig-path --name="kind")"
kubectl cluster-info
k get all -n default
docker ps
kind delete cluster

kind create cluster
Creating cluster "kind" ...
 ✓ Ensuring node image (kindest/node:v1.13.4) 🖼 
 ✓ Preparing nodes 📦 
 ✓ Creating kubeadm config 📜 
 ✓ Starting control-plane 🕹️ 
Cluster creation complete. You can now use the cluster with:

export KUBECONFIG="$(kind get kubeconfig-path --name="kind")"
kubectl cluster-info


kubectl cluster-info

Kubernetes master is running at https://localhost:35795
KubeDNS is running at https://localhost:35795/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-dns:dns/proxy

To further debug and diagnose cluster problems, use 'kubectl cluster-info dump'.

docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                  COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                  NAMES
