Setup an developer environment

[travier]

We want to be able to work on the operator on a local cluster. To be able to do that, we need a cluster with clusterapi.

Cluster API has a kubevirt provider.

So we need to setup a cluster with kubevirt. We can do that using kind.

So the setup would look like:

• setup a local cluster with kind:
  • ideally using podman
  • having access to /dev/kvm so that we don't use nested virt with kubevirt
  • https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/rootless/#creating-a-kind-cluster-with-rootless-podman
• setup kubevirt within the kind cluster:
  • https://kubevirt.io/quickstart_kind/
• setup clusterapi with the kubevirt provider in the kind cluster:
  • https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api-provider-kubevirt
• test/develop the operator in this setup

One note, if we want to install kubevirt in kind we need to use root podman, otherwise kubevirt installation isn't going to be successful
