Running Kubernetes on your workstation with Kind and Podman
Alexon Ferreira de Oliveira

There are numerous ways to create a Kubernetes cluster on a local workstation using different frameworks. They all aim to facilitate the development and testing of containerized applications by Developers before implementing such solutions in production.

One of these available tools is Kind, which is a graduated CNCF project and is a Kubernetes utility for running local clusters using single-container "nodes", providing an easy way to create and manage Kubernetes environments for development and testing. kind lets you create a local multi-node Kubernetes clusters using Docker container nodes.

To make it better, you can use another CNCF graduated project by leveraging Podman Desktop, that will help you to run Kind-powered local Kubernetes clusters on a container engine, such as Podman.

So this session aims to demonstrate in practice how these two projects integrate and can help you facilitate the implementation of this testing environment on your local workstation.
