# Local EKS Development Skill

Set up local Kubernetes environment with EKS parity for fast development.

## Use For
- Local K8s with Kind matching EKS, LocalStack for AWS services
- Local Keycloak instance, hot-reload development with Skaffold

## Kind Cluster Configuration (EKS Parity)

```yaml
# kind-config.yaml - Matches EKS 1.28 behavior
kind: Cluster
apiVersion: kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4
name: eks-local

  - role: control-plane
