How can I create another worker node other than minikube?

Hi,

I’m on a mac machine and I have installed minikube which I understand is one node cluster which is running on a virtual machine. I want to know can I create more nodes locally? Can someone guide me through this?

Thanks

Check out the docs here: https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/commands/node/
If you don’t mind using an alternative, check out kind. It can spin up multi-node clusters in docker and its super quick to spin up and destroy.

Thanks. I will take a look

Also If I’m using Kind then can I use kubectl to communicate with the cluster?
