kind uses containers not VMs
Co-authored-by: Morgan Helton <[email protected]>
Use the flox-kind-demo repo to give a somewhat real-world example, running a webserver with Redis
Add example page walking through kind-demo
feat: self-managed kubernetes install + upgrade + uninstall
It's not correct to say that the container image is "not used" because
it gets unpacked as the rootfs that we make changes to.
Given this spec:
```
containers:
- name: hello-empty
image: flox/empty:1.0.0
command: ["sleep", "infinity"]
- name: hello-alpine
image: alpine:3
command: ["sleep", "infinity"]
```
One uses Alpine as the base and the other doesn't:
```
% kc exec deploy/hello -c hello-alpine -- cat /etc/alpine-release
3.22.2
% kc exec deploy/hello -c hello-empty -- cat /etc/alpine-release
cat: /etc/alpine-release: No such file or directory
```
Created this ticket if we later want to implement it as a feature:
- flox/containerd-shim-flox#41
I've also renamed the container from "empty" to "echoip" to indicate
what it contains and is doing.
