About Kubernetes Kind

Kind (Kubernetes IN Docker)... in VS Code

This extension displays your kind local cluster in the Kubernetes extension's Cloud Explorer. You can use this to create and delete clusters, and to merge them into your kubeconfig.

This is an early stage preview. It's not feature complete! Feature requests welcome via the issues page. (And let us know about bugs too!)

Prerequisites

You must have the kind binary on your system path. You can download the binaries for your operating system from https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kind/releases.

This version of the extension has been tested only with Kind 0.4.0 (and only on Windows so far, though it should work on other OSes).
