The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Deep Dive into Working with Draft
Draft exists to help folks get up and running on Kubernetes more easily.

App to AKS with Draft and Acorn
Acorn will take care of creating your Kubernetes manifest files but it expects that you have a Dockerfile ready to containerize your app. Instead of writing a Dockerfile from scratch, we'll use the Draft CLI to generate one for us. Draft is able to detect languages used within your project and generate the appropriate Docker manifest to containerize your app.

The Journey of Adopting Cloud-Native Development
The development concept at level 2 is essentially the same as at level 1. The code is deployed via a pipeline to a Kubernetes cluster. However, at this stage, developers are using special CLI tools, such as Skaffold, Draft, or Tilt that detect the file changes by the developer and then automatically trigger the pipelines.

Top DevOps Announcement from MS Build 2022
Draft is an open-source project that streamlines Kubernetes development by taking a non-containerized application and generating the Dockerfiles, Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, Kustomize configurations, and other artifacts associated with a containerized application. Draft can also create a GitHub Action workflow file to quickly build and deploy applications onto any Kubernetes cluster.

Ask HN: What Happened to Flynn.io? (and Others)
Many of the PaaS open source implementations whether built on top of k8s or otherwise turning up dead or getting lower and lower traction. Examples would be flynn.io, for example or draft (https://github.com/Azure/draft) seems also sort of dead. What gives? What's happening? Is there no place for PaaS anymore because there are too many already? Or k8s deployment and operation is that simplified to the point that with Helm, Tekton and Brigade etc - there's a general convergence on a DIY K8s and away from PaaS layers even if they're built atop K8s?

How to distribute workloads using Open Cluster Management
To get started, you'll need to install clusteradm and kubectl and start up three Kubernetes clusters. To simplify cluster administration, this article starts up three kind clusters with the following names and purposes:

15 Options To Build A Kubernetes Playground (with Pros and Cons)
Kind: is a tool for running local Kubernetes clusters using Docker container "nodes." It was primarily designed for testing Kubernetes itself but can also be used for local development or continuous integration.

Exploring OpenShift with CRC
Fortunately, just as projects like kind and Minikube enable developers to spin up a local Kubernetes environment in no time, CRC, also known as OpenShift Local and a recursive acronym for "CRC - Runs Containers", offers developers a local OpenShift environment by means of a pre-configured VM similar to how Minikube works under the hood.

K3s Traefik Ingress - configured for your homelab!
I recently purchased a used Lenovo M900 Think Centre (i7 with 32GB RAM) from eBay to expand my mini-homelab, which was just a single Synology DS218+ plugged into my ISP's router (yuck!). Since I've been spending a big chunk of time at work playing around with Kubernetes, I figured that I'd put my skills to the test and run a k3s node on the new server. While I was familiar with k3s before starting this project, I'd never actually run it before, opting for tools like kind (and minikube before that) to run small test clusters for my local development work.

Hacking in kind (Kubernetes in Docker)
Kind allows you to run a Kubernetes cluster inside Docker. This is incredibly useful for developing Helm charts, Operators, or even just testing out different k8s features in a safe way.

K3s – Lightweight Kubernetes
If you're just messing around, just use kind (https://kind.sigs.k8s.io) or minikube if you want VMs (https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io). Both work on ARM-based platforms.
You can also use k3s; it's hella easy to get started with and it works great.

Two approaches to make your APIs more secure
We'll install APIClarity into a Kubernetes cluster to test our API documentation. We're using a Kind cluster for demonstration purposes. Of course, if you have another Kubernetes cluster up and running elsewhere, all steps also work there.

observing logs from Kubernetes pods without headaches
yes I know there is lens, but it does not allow me to see logs of multiple pods at same time and what is even more important it is not friendly for ephemeral clusters - in my case with help of kind I am recreating whole cluster each time from scratch
What are some alternatives?
When comparing draft and kind you can also consider the following projects:
tye - Tye is a tool that makes developing, testing, and deploying microservices and distributed applications easier. Project Tye includes a local orchestrator to make developing microservices easier and the ability to deploy microservices to Kubernetes with minimal configuration.
minikube - Run Kubernetes locally
helm - The Kubernetes Package Manager
k3d - Little helper to run CNCF's k3s in Docker
okteto - Develop your applications directly in your Kubernetes Cluster
lima - Linux virtual machines, with a focus on running containers
tilt - Define your dev environment as code. For microservice apps on Kubernetes.
vcluster - vCluster - Create fully functional virtual Kubernetes clusters - Each vcluster runs inside a namespace of the underlying k8s cluster. It's cheaper than creating separate full-blown clusters and it offers better multi-tenancy and isolation than regular namespaces.
devspace-plugin-loft - Loft Plugin for DevSpace - adds commands like `devspace create space` or `devspace create vcluster` to DevSpace
colima - Container runtimes on macOS (and Linux) with minimal setup
Gitkube - Build and deploy docker images to Kubernetes using git push
nerdctl - contaiNERD CTL - Docker-compatible CLI for containerd, with support for Compose, Rootless, eStargz, OCIcrypt, IPFS, ...
