kind: Create a local Kubernetes cluster.
$ kind create cluster --name ${cluster_name}
try on your machine

The command "kind create cluster --name ${cluster_name}" is used to create a Kubernetes cluster using the tool called "kind" (short for Kubernetes in Docker). Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:

  • "kind" is the name of the command-line tool.
  • "create cluster" is the action being performed. It tells the tool to create a new Kubernetes cluster.
  • "--name ${cluster_name}" is an option passed to the command. "${cluster_name}" is a variable that should be replaced with an actual name for the cluster. This option specifies the name of the cluster that will be created.

When you run this command, it will create a new Kubernetes cluster using the kind tool and assign it the specified name. The cluster will be provisioned on your local machine using Docker containers.
