# Kurtosis + Kubernetes

## Using Kubernetes from Docker Desktop

This guide uses k8s bundled with Docker desktop, but should work with other k8s distribution. Note that the Docker bundled k8s only supports a single worker node.

### Add K8s cluster to Kurtosis config

1. Enable Kubernetes cluster in Docker Desktop and restart Docker.
2. Open config with command: `vi "$(kurtosis config path)"`
3. Add the following to the file:

kurtosis-clusters:
  docker-k8s:
    type: "kubernetes"
    config:
      kubernetes-cluster-name: "docker-desktop"
      storage-class: "hostpath"
      enclave-size-in-megabytes: 10

4. Conifgure to use docker k8s cluster: `kurtosis cluster set docker-k8s`
5. Run Kurtosis gateway to allow connections to the engine: `kurtosis gateway`
6. Keep the above terminal session open at all times, and start Kurtosis enclaves as usual.

ps. startup time for `ethereum-package` takes longer than using native docker for some reasons.
