I’ve been using minikube as my local cluster since I started to learn Kubernetes. But I’ve decided to let it go in favor of kind. Here’s the story. A couple of weeks ago, I gave my talk on Zero Downtime on Kubernetes. A demo is included in the talk, as with most of my presentations. While rehearsing in the morning, the demo worked, albeit slowly. Two days before that, I had another demo that also uses Kubernetes and it was already slow. But I didn’t take the hint.
