AFAICT, minikube requires a full VM, whereas this doesn't seem to. So it should, in theory, be much more lightweight.

Minikube now has both a docker[1] and a native driver[2]. The docker driver is derived from Kind.

2. https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/reference/drivers/none/

That is pretty neat but it is nice to have a tool that had it built natively, rather than having to search through 30 different provider flags with Minikube. Hopefully there documentation has gotten better but I'd generally trust the innovation behind the Kind tool than the Minikube devs who are late to the game.

this is simply a container with a docker runtime in it, it's haeavy in that sense

actually we run containerd and I think you will find it is comparatively lightweight and fast compared to most options :-)

it's certainly heavier than _not_ using Kubernetes
