Introduction to Fluentd on Kubernetes

We need a Kubernetes cluster

Lets create a Kubernetes cluster to play with using kind

kind create cluster --name fluentd --image kindest/node:v1.19.1

I would highly recommend to use manifests from the official fluentd github repo

The manifests found here are purely for demo purpose.

In this example I will use the most common use case and we'll break it down to get an understanding of each component.
