Provision the playground

Install Kind with Network Policy support

Check cluster Pods, some Pods should be pending due to missing CNI

kubectl get pods -n kube-system

kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/projectcalico/calico/v3.25.0/manifests/tigera-operator.yaml
kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/projectcalico/calico/v3.25.0/manifests/custom-resources.yaml

Watch Pods going into running state

watch kubectl get pods -n calico-system

Remove taints on master to schedule pods on it

kubectl taint nodes --all node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane- node-role.kubernetes.io/master-

Check pods again and check nodes are running

watch kubectl get pods -n calico-system
kubectl get nodes -o wide
