Description
Why we need it?
We have lot of protect which uses CI action which creates kind cluster for its CI. I want to add a reusable composite action (.github/actions/create-cluster) that spins up a local Kubernetes cluster (Kind) so CI jobs can run against a real cluster instead of each workflow re-implementing the setup inline.
The same action already exists and is in use in the
sdkhttps://github.com/kubeflow/sdk/blob/main/.github/workflows/test-e2e.yamltrainerhttps://github.com/kubeflow/trainer/blob/master/.github/workflows/test-e2e.yaml- And planning to add in
mcp-serveras part of this https://github.com/kubeflow/mcp-server/pull/109
Requirement
- Adds common action for cluster creation with inputs for Kubernetes version and the Kind node image.
- Exports
KUBECONFIGso subsequent steps can talk to the cluster directly.
