k3d: Import an image from Docker into a k3d cluster.
$ k3d image import ${image_name} --cluster ${cluster_name}
try on your machine

This command uses the "k3d" tool to import a container image into a Kubernetes cluster.

Here's a breakdown of the parts of the command:

  • k3d: This is the command-line tool used for managing Kubernetes clusters using Docker. It provides a convenient way to create and manage local Kubernetes clusters.
  • image import: This is the command to import a container image into a Kubernetes cluster.
  • ${image_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the container image you want to import. You need to replace it with the actual name of the image you want to import.
  • --cluster ${cluster_name}: This specifies the name of the Kubernetes cluster where the image should be imported. You need to replace ${cluster_name} with the actual name of the cluster.

Overall, this command allows you to import a container image into a specific Kubernetes cluster using the "k3d" tool.
