Summary

Docker for Mac with Kubernetes` is a beta version of Docker that includes support for Kubernetes, allowing users to run a local cluster on their Macs. The installation process was straightforward, and the user experience was simple, enabling a working Kubernetes cluster in no time. The author experimented with `Edge Stack`, a Kubernetes-native API Gateway built on Envoy Proxy, and successfully deployed an Ambassador LoadBalancer, routing traffic to `httpbin.org`. However, some rough edges were encountered, including collisions between competing services and the need for compiling a binary to get a list of open ports. Overall, Docker for Mac with Kubernetes shows promise as a useful alternative to Minikube, and the author is excited to see updates and improvements in the future.
