+## Kind
+To create a local Kubernetes cluster using [Kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/) you will need the following installed:
+- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) or any container runtime probably
+- [Kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/#installation)
+- [cloud-provider-kind](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cloud-provider-kind)
+- [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/)
+
+Scripts:
+- `kind/create.sh` 
+    - creates a Kind cluster and sets up the gateway 
+    - build and deploy ontime-operator into cluster
+    - deploy the sample stage
+    - start `cloud-provider-kind`
+- `kind/delete.sh` - deletes the Kind cluster
+
+To get the gateway IP address run `kubectl get gateway -n kube-system` the output will look something like this:
+```
+NAMESPACE     NAME      CLASS                 ADDRESS      PROGRAMMED   AGE
+kube-system   gateway   cloud-provider-kind   172.18.0.5   True         23s
+```
