Introduction to Waypoint

I will do the following:

Run a local Kubernetes cluster with Kind
Run a container to extract the windows waypoint binary + move it to $PATH

We need a Kubernetes cluster

Lets create a Kubernetes cluster to play with using Kind

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

Get the Waypoint binary for Windows

Feel free to follow the official install guide using the [docs](https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/waypoint/get-started-install)

Use a container to download and extract the binary:

docker run -it --rm -v ${PWD}:/work -w /work alpine sh -c 'apk add --no-cache curl unzip && curl -LO https://releases.hashicorp.com/waypoint/0.1.3/waypoint_0.1.3_windows_amd64.zip && unzip waypoint_0.1.3_windows_amd64.zip && rm waypoint_0.1.3_windows_amd64.zip'

I've setup my Windows $PATH environment to point to a folder C:\kubectl\

mv waypoint.exe C:\kubectl\waypoint.exe

#open new powershell terminal

waypoint --help

Install Waypoint server

kubectl port-forward svc/waypoint 9701:9701
waypoint install --platform=kubernetes -accept-tos

Waypoint Kubernetes + Python example

cd hashicorp/waypoint/python/

waypoint init
waypoint up
