Prologue One or two years ago, I tried several times to install kind cluster to using cilium cni. However I didn’t make it. Today I really want to setup one after reading an Kind cluster with Cilium and no kube-proxy and considering that major kubernetes distributions are using cilium cni now. After about 3 hours, I finally got it running successfully. Things don’t go smoothly. Here are my steps to setup it up.

KIND supports configuration items and you can find them at https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/configuration. Following is the outline of the doc. Cluster-Wide Options ︎ Networking: ︎ IP Family ︎ API Server: port and listen address Pod Subnet ︎ Service Subnet ︎ Disable Default CNI: can be used to try other CNI for CKA and CKAD networks kube-proxy mode : iptables, ipvs Nodes: role control-plane, worker Per-Node Options ︎ Extra Mounts ︎ Extra Port Mappings ︎ Kubeadm Config Patches: Kubeadm Config Patches, kubeadm InitConfiguration and JoinConfiguration My asciicast is as following:
