kind + kubectl + kubectx + kubens

• Quickstart with Kind, installation etc.
  • https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start

kind create cluster # creates cluster with default name/settings: "kind"

kind delete cluster
kind delete cluster --name $NAME_OF_CLUSTER

kubectl install:

minikube:

Minikube works ok on Apple-silicon M2 as long as uses Docker as a driver. VirtualBox-Beta for Arm is not supported as a driver (VirtualBox-7.0.0_BETA1-153351-macOSAArch64.dmg)

• https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/

This means that you cannot directly access NodePorts, but need to open it using cumbersome:

minikube service <NAME-OF-SERVICE-TO-CONNECT-TO>

e.g: minikube service kiali -n istio-system

Starting with extra memory:

minikube start --memory 4096
