If you have ever tried to deploy a service in the last three to four years, there’s a good chance someone has suggested using Kubernetes; however, if this is your first time hearing of Kubernetes, welcome. Kubernetes is an orchestrator that makes it easy to run large-scale containerized applications.

What makes Kubernetes really great is its extensibility, by using the API users are able to create custom applications that don’t ship with Kubernetes out of the box, It's how we have great tools like ArgoCD.

If you clicked on this post, you are likely familiar with Kubernetes and looking to take things a step further, regardless of why you are here. In this article, we will look at a bunch of useful operations for interacting with Kubernetes using the planet's most loved crab language, Rust.

To create a local Kubernetes cluster, we will use KinD, a tool that allows you to run Kubernetes in Docker, hence the name KinD. Don't forget to have Docker installed!
