For simplicity, kind can be used to create a single node cluster with the seccomp profiles loaded. Kind runs Kubernetes in Docker, so each node of the cluster is a container. This allows for files to be mounted in the filesystem of each container similar to loading files onto a node. Download that example kind configuration, and save it to a file named kind.yaml Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```shell curl -L -O https://k8s.io/examples/pods/security/seccomp/kind.yaml ``` You can set a specific Kubernetes version by setting the node's container image. See Nodes within the kind documentation about configuration for more details on this. This tutorial assumes you are using Kubernetes . As a beta feature, you can configure Kubernetes to use the profile that the prefers by default, rather than falling back to Unconfined. If you want to try that, see enable the use of RuntimeDefault as the default seccomp profile for all workloads before you continue. Once you have a kind configuration in place, create the kind cluster with that configuration Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```shell kind create cluster --config=kind.yaml ``` After the new Kubernetes cluster is ready, identify the Docker container running as the single node cluster Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```shell docker ps ``` You should see output indicating that a container is running with name kind-control-plane. The output is similar to Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```text CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 6a96207fed4b kindest/node:v1.18.2 "/usr/local/bin/entr…" 27 seconds ago Up 24 seconds 127.0.0.1:42223->6443/tcp kind-control-plane ``` If observing the filesystem of that container, you should see that the profiles/ directory has been successfully loaded into the default seccomp path of the kubelet. Use docker exec to run a command in the Pod Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```shell docker exec -it kind-control-plane ls /var/lib/kubelet/seccomp/profiles ``` … Attribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
