1. Container Runtime Interface
* [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/) - v19.03 or newer
* [Podman](https://podman.io/docs/installation) - v3.0 or newer

If the user prefers to have Podman as the CRI, then follow the steps listed below:

1. Emulate Docker CLI with Podman: Instructions can be found [here](https://podman-desktop.io/docs/migrating-from-docker/emulating-docker-cli-with-podman)
2. On `Mac OS` migrate from Docker to Podman: Instructions can be found
[here](https://podman-desktop.io/docs/migrating-from-docker/using-podman-mac-helper).

### 1. Create Podman machine

```shell
$ podman machine init
$ podman machine start
```

### 2. Configure podman to use local registry

```shell
$ podman machine ssh
$ sudo vi /etc/containers/registries.conf

## at the end of the file add below content

[[registry]]
location = "localhost:5001"
insecure = true
```
### 3. Restart Podman machine

```shell
podman machine stop
podman machine start
```
---

## Create a kind cluster

First, make sure you have a kind cluster and that your `KUBECONFIG` is set up correctly:

``` bash
kind create cluster
make kind-cluster
```

This local cluster will be running all the cluster api controllers and become the management cluster which then can be used to spin up workload clusters on IBM Cloud.
This local cluster will host the cluster-api controllers, which makes it the management cluster. The management cluster can be used to create and manage workload clusters on IBM Cloud.

---

## Create a tilt-settings.yaml file

Next, create a `tilt-settings.yaml` file and place it in your local copy of `cluster-api`. Here is an example:

**Example `tilt-settings.yaml` for CAPI-IBM clusters:**

Make sure to replace the parameter `IBMCLOUD_API_KEY` with a valid API key.
Make sure to set a valid API key for the field `IBMCLOUD_API_KEY`.
