Examples¶

Setup¶

To use Chainsaw you will need a Kubernetes cluster, Chainsaw won't create one for you.

In these examples, we will use kind but feel free to use the tool of your choice.

Not a cluster management tool

We consider this is not the responsibility of Chainsaw to manage clusters.

There are plenty of solutions to create and manage local clusters that will do that better than Chainsaw.

Please refer to the kind install docs to install it locally.

Once kind creating a local cluster is as simple as running:

# define kind image
export KIND_IMAGE="kindest/node:v1.28.0"

# create cluster
kind create cluster --image $KIND_IMAGE

Refer to install docs to install Chainsaw.
