FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a local Kubernetes cluster for development and testing?

Kind simplifies local Kubernetes setup by running nodes in Docker. This Skill manages Kind cluster lifecycles, allowing you to deploy Kagenti platform components and validate features in a production-like environment without a full cloud setup.

How do I run end-to-end tests against a local Kubernetes environment?

After deploying your platform components into the local Kind cluster, this Skill supports automated execution of end-to-end tests. It provides a local Kubernetes environment to validate application behavior before pushing to staging or production.

Do I need Docker to manage Kind clusters for local development?

Yes, Docker is required because Kind runs Kubernetes nodes as Docker containers. This dependency allows the Skill to quickly spin up and tear down local Kagenti development environments on your machine.

What is the best way to troubleshoot Kagenti platform issues locally before staging deployment?

The best way is deploying the Kagenti platform components within a local Kind cluster. This Skill facilitates cluster creation so developers can test new features and troubleshoot issues locally before deploying to staging.

Can I automate the destruction of Kind clusters after local testing?

Yes, this Skill handles the complete cluster lifecycle management. You can automate the destruction of Kind clusters along with creation and deployment to streamline your local testing workflow.
