This guide will show you how to create a setup similar to the kubernetes driver by manually creating a BuildKit Deployment. While the kubernetes driver will do this under-the-hood, it might sometimes be desirable to scale BuildKit manually. Additionally, when executing builds from inside Kubernetes pods, the Buildx builder will need to be recreated from within each pod or copied between them.
Create a Kubernetes deployment of buildkitd by following the instructions in the BuildKit documentation.
Create certificates for the BuildKit daemon and client using the create-certs.sh, script and create a deployment of BuildKit pods with a service that connects to them.
Assuming that the service is called buildkitd, create a remote builder in Buildx, ensuring that the listed certificate files are present
Note that this only works internally, within the cluster, since the BuildKit setup guide o
