I've been closely following the discussion on k3s and Kubernetes in general. I recently acquired an M1 Mac Ultra, and I'm curious about the best options available for running Kubernetes locally on it.
Does anyone have experience or recommendations in this area? I've heard about a few tools but wanted to gather insights from this knowledgeable community.
I switched to it completely, it’s very convenient to have both fast (-est on Mac) Docker support and a really smooth VM setup for running occasional Linux tools (such as Yocto in my case).
Edit: added some background info to my recommendation.
If you go the kind route, be sure to not use Docker for mac and instead opt for podman which is much more resource efficient. Now that I've switched over to podman, my computer doesn't sound like it's about to blast off when I'm running clusters.
The tools are a bit rough around the edges if you try and do something outside of the happy path with them. Nothing bad as such, just the user experience isn't as seamless when say running the VMs on custom, addressable host networks or managing vms with launchd.
