k3d: Create a new containerized k3s node.
$ k3d node create ${node_name}
try on your machine

The command "k3d node create ${node_name}" is used to create a new Kubernetes node using the k3d tool.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "k3d" refers to the k3d tool, which is a lightweight wrapper to run Kubernetes clusters in Docker. It provides an easy way to set up and manage local Kubernetes clusters.
  • "node" specifies that we want to create a new node in the cluster.
  • "create" is the action that tells k3d to create a new node.
  • "${node_name}" is a placeholder for the name you want to give to the new node. You should replace "${node_name}" with your desired name, without the curly brackets.

By executing this command, a new node with the specified name will be created in the Kubernetes cluster managed by k3d.
