Reviewing your KinD cluster

With a Kubernetes cluster now available, we have the ability to look at Kubernetes objects first-hand. This will help you understand the next chapter, Kubernetes Bootcamp, where we will cover many of the base objects included in a Kubernetes cluster. While we will explain most objects in the next chapter, we need to introduce the objects that Kubernetes uses to provide storage. In the next section we introduce the objects included with KinD that provide persistent storage to your workloads. In particular, we will discuss the storage objects that are included with your KinD cluster.

KinD storage objects

Remember that KinD includes Rancher's auto-provisioner to provide automated persistent disk management for the cluster. Kubernetes has a number of storage objects, there is one object that the auto-provisioner does not require since it uses a base Kubernetes feature: it does not require a CSIdriver.
