5 months ago Honestly, this page has nothing Istio specific, and no special configuration/setting is needed to run Istio on kind (in this case).
Why don't we get rid of this page and just say "Visit kind.sh for instructions on how to set up your cluster" where applicable. If platforms require some special Istio-specific setup/config then we should call that out.

5 months ago A couple of common themes across all platforms:
Other than that, the instructions are not in any way specific to Istio and they are mostly about setting up a k8s cluster.
| Platform | Notes |
|---|---|
| Alibaba cloud | Outdated (i.e. "hasn't been tested on 1.9") + no Istio specific config |
| Amazon EKS | no Istio specific config, links to EKS blueprints |
| Azure | no Istio specific config |
| Docker Desktop | no Istio specific config |
| GKE | Has a note for private GKE cluster + section for multi-cluster communication (which isn't necessarily istio specific) |
| Huawei | Notes on resources, but otherwise no Istio specific config |
| IBM | no Istio specific config |
| k3d | command to set up a k3d cluster without traefik and to expose certain ports (I think) |
| kind | no Istio specific config |
| Kops | no Istio specific config (unless you're k8s < 1.22) |
| Kubernetes Gardener | no Istio specific config |
| KubeSphere Container Platform | Outdated (i.e. "hasn't been tested on 1.9") + no Istio specific config |
| MicroK8s | no Istio specific config |
| Minikube | Memory requirements, no Istio specific config |
| Openshift | no Istio specific config |
| OCI | Outdated, no Istio specific config |
| Tencent | no Istio specific config |
I think these 18 subpages could be links to instructions on the platforms' website for setting up the cluster.

5 months ago I've been wanting to collapse these down to one page. Let's do that.

5 months ago All right, I'll collapse this down.

4 months ago Before I go further down the hole, would the FAQ layout work well for this page, @craigbox?

4 months ago Maybe? Depends how big the titles are under each section, I guess.
Hopefully it's just a small toggle to change each and we'll see what they look like

3 months ago https://github.com/istio/istio.io/pull/15425 changes the page to FAQ-style.
@craigbox should I go ahead and remove all instructions that don't have any Istio specific steps? (or do we keep it around for SEO purposes perhaps)
https://istio.io/latest/docs/setup/platform-setup/kind/
The new target audience for this page is a Getting Started user.
We should rewrite:
and/or we should use Minikube instead.
