Allow for multi-node Kubernetes in Docker Desktop
Tell us about your request Add the capability to have multiple nodes in the Docker Desktop embedded Kubernetes.
Which service(s) is this request for? Docker Desktop
Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard? When working on distributed applications it is often helpful to simulate production environments more closely by having multiple Kubernetes nodes hosting the pods. For example, if I have a multi-replica Deployment or DeamonSet that I want to make sure doesn't have any race conditions when multiple instances run from different hosts, I cannot do so from Docker Desktop Kubernetes. Also, testing node affinity related configurations are not really plausible on single-node K8s.
Are you currently working around the issue? Currently, my only workaround (on the desktop) is to run another k8s distro like Kind.
Hi @ericsmalling, thanks for posting this. We'll discuss and get back to you shortly.
Hi @christophermclellan, is there any update about multi-node Kubernetes support in Docker Desktop?
+1 A nice way to prevent production problems, while in development & learning process
@christophermclellan With our shared last name, it's practically destiny that my interest in this feature tips the scales.
+1 This way we'd be able to check affinity, scaling, balancing. Thanks in advance.
Just an update that we're currently investigating this. Please +1 this comment to register continued interest in this feature!
+1 as this will be quite handy feature for development as well as learning.
I know internal work is moving on this (Thank you!) - another few aspects that would be great to include would be:
- ability to use my own CNI plugin
- ability to chose version of k8s
