Kubepal

Kubepal is a local k3d cluster setup designed for cluster configuration development and app deployment experimentation.

Key features:

• Disposable and Quick-to-Use: Create and delete the cluster set up with a single command

• GitOps Ready: Replicate GitOps practices in a local environment using ArgoCD

• Modular: Each directory is a self-contained module that can be used independently
