Terraform configuration to provision a local Kind (Kubernetes in Docker) cluster for personal development and testing workflows.

This setup optionally enables Ingress and LoadBalancer support using cloud-provider-kind, which runs as a Docker container alongside the Kind cluster.

• Local Kubernetes cluster using Kind
• Optional Ingress + LoadBalancer support via cloud-provider-kind
• cloud-provider-kind runs as a Docker container
• Fully controlled using Terraform variables
• Ideal for local development and testing

• By default, the Kind cluster is created without Ingress or LoadBalancer support.
• When the enable_ingress_lb variable is set to true:
  • cloud-provider-kind is automatically deployed
  • Kubernetes Service resources of type LoadBalancer are supported
  • Ingress works out-of-the-box without installing a third-party controller

# Create cluster with ingress & load balancer disabled
terraform apply

# Create cluster with ingress & load balancer enabled
terraform apply -var="enable_ingress_lb=true"

👉 Test Ingress for example workloads and verification steps.
