Why?* kind supports multi-node (including HA) clusters
* kind supports building Kubernetes release builds from source
* support for make / bash / docker or bazel, in addition to pre-published builds.
* kind is written in go, can be used as a library, has stable releases
* kind supports Windows in addition to MacOS and Linux
* kind is a CNCF certified conformant Kubernetes installer		The best solution for Kubernetes cluster operators (DevOps / SRE) who want to practice Kubernetes cluster admin tasks. Highly configurable Kubernetes options.Clean installation that runs upstream Kubernetes as native services on Linux systems supporting snap. A good option if you are running Ubuntu on your laptop. Supports multi-node (including HA) clusters.The best solution for operators and developers that are using OpenShift in their company.There is a Docker compose available for running locally. It's extremely lightweight at 40mb for the image. Memory and CPU consumption are extremely low.

Why Not?Separate VM on OSX and Windows. More complex that Docker Desktop for developers.Less mature than MiniKube. Only supports Linux.If you're running non-OpenShift Kubernetes in your company then go with another option.
