FIXING CILIUM ON KIND

Update It seams that either downgrading Docker engine, to an earlier version or waiting for version 4.27.0 will fix the Cilium problem. More info can be found in this issue.

KUBERNETES WITH CONTINUOUS DELIVERY INCLUDED

Intro One of the features I have been looking most forward to, in Tanzu Mission Control (TMC) is the ability to deploy a new Kubernetes (K8S) cluster and enable Continuous Delivery, as part of the deployment.
