k3d: Create a cluster.
$ k3d cluster create ${cluster_name}
try on your machine

The command "k3d cluster create ${cluster_name}" creates a Kubernetes cluster using the tool "k3d" with a specific name specified by the variable "cluster_name".

Here's a breakdown of the command parts:

  • "k3d": "k3d" is a lightweight wrapper tool that helps in creating and managing a Kubernetes cluster using Docker containers. It allows you to set up a local development environment quickly.

  • "cluster create": This is the specific command within "k3d" that tells the tool to create a Kubernetes cluster.

  • "${cluster_name}": This is a placeholder for the name you can provide to your cluster. You should replace "${cluster_name}" with an appropriate name for your cluster, e.g., "my-cluster". The cluster name is useful for identification and management purposes.

In summary, the command "k3d cluster create ${cluster_name}" creates a Kubernetes cluster using "k3d" with the provided cluster name.
