Hands-on tutorial that proves Cluster API 1.0 manages fleets from a local laptop: it uses clusterctl, kind, kubeadm, cert-manager and the Docker provider (CAPD) to create a management cluster, then stamps workload clusters from a Cluster API class. Demo actions include adding an md-1 worker pool, triggering a node replacement via machine health checks, and doing a live Kubernetes upgrade from 1.24.6 to 1.25.2. Also shows lifecycle hooks with an extension server and a Helm visualizer. Minimum local resources: 4 CPU, 16 GB RAM, 32 GB disk.
