kind is a tool for running local Kubernetes clusters using Docker container nodes. With kubetest integration, kind makes it easy to do end-to-end testing on Kubernetes. We've used kind to create ephemeral Kubernetes clusters to test Kubernetes resources such as Operators and Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) in our CI pipelines.
