I use Kind (and Minikube, and a number of other solutions too), but this is kind of my "Kubernetes-the-really-hard-way" fun project.

Note that I maintain a parallel configuration that runs a multi-node cluster on Vagrant for local development [1] as well as a docker environment built for CI purposes[2] using almost all the same images, with the same Ansible playbooks to configure them all across platforms.
