Kind: Kubernetes in Docker
While I was playing with act the other day, I found a tool called kind (Kubernetes in Docker) in that repository. With kind, Kubernetes clusters can easily be created in a Docker container.
According to the official document, being an alternative to Docker Compose out of scope for kind. That said, the home page also suggests kind may be used for “local development”.
kind was primarily designed for testing Kubernetes itself, but may be used for local development or CI.
