Kind Configure - Cilium

Configuring kind cluster creation is done using a YAML configuration file. This step is necessary in order to disable the default CNI and replace it with Cilium.

Create a :download:kind-config.yaml <./kind-config.yaml> file based on the following template. It will create a cluster with 3 worker nodes and 1 control-plane node.

.. literalinclude:: kind-config.yaml :language: yaml

By default, the latest version of Kubernetes from when the kind release was created is used.

To change the version of Kubernetes being run, image has to be defined for each node. See the Node Configuration <https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/configuration/#nodes>_ documentation for more information.

.. tip:: By default, kind uses the following pod and service subnets::

    Networking.PodSubnet     = "10.244.0.0/16"
    Networking.ServiceSubnet = "10.96.0.0/12"

If any of these subnets conflicts with your local network address range,
update the ``networking`` section of the kind configuration file to specify
different subnets that do not conflict or you risk having connectivity
issues when deploying Cilium. For example:

.. code-block:: yaml

     networking:
       disableDefaultCNI: true
       podSubnet: "10.10.0.0/16"
       serviceSubnet: "10.11.0.0/16"
