Tilt + Kind + CircleCI + ctlptl w/ Local build support

This project connects multiple pieces of software together to get your Circle CI pipeline creating Kind clusters, deploying your kubernetes manifests and resources.

At ThreeComma we had use cases where we needed to spin up kind clusters either locally (make them long-running), or remote in our CircleCI pipeline quickly.

This example project has the structure for spinning up kind, integrating tilt, docker build, pushing to the local registry and supporting remote docker.

Acknowledgements

• ctlptl (handles creating clusters and local docker image registry support)
