Kind Concepts

• Kind

Overview

kind is a tool for running local Kubernetes clusters using Docker container as cluster nodes. As such, it needs a Docker installation to run and it is similar to Docker Desktop in that respect. kind was primarily designed for testing Kubernetes itself, but may be used for local development or CI.

Cluster Container Provider

While initializing the cluster, the initialization process will report what container provider it is using.

Registry Container Provider

While initializing the cluster, the registry can use a different container provider, though usually there should be no good reason do so.
