kind - Kubernetes IN Docker

WARNING: kind is still a work in progress! See docs/todo.md

kind is a toolset for running local Kubernetes clusters using Docker container "nodes". kind is designed to be suitable for testing Kubernetes, initially targeting the conformance suite.

It consists of:

• Go packages implementing cluster creation, image build, etc.
• A command line interface (kind) built on these packages.
• Docker image(s) written to run systemd, Kubernetes, etc.
• kubetest integration also built on these packages (WIP)

Kind bootstraps each "node" with kubeadm.

For more details see the design documentation.

Building

You can build kind with go install k8s.io/test-infra/kind/cmd/kind or bazel build //kind/cmd/kind.

Usage

kind create will create a cluster.
