I will be getting VMs at work for installing a Kubernetes cluster. It will be used by the development team; but we need to test the scaling too during development, so single node is not really an option.
I won't have rights to create or re-spawn the VMs from known images. So I need to be able to cleanup a cluster if it gets damaged beyond repair and do it without asking for a VM refresh.
To sandbox ordinary software I would generally use containers. I wanted to do the same for the Kubernetes installation.
I only found kind and k3d. But both are meant to simulate multi-node clusters while using a single node. Whereas I want to have a real multi-node solution that can run in docker or its alternatives.
