+  How to setup Dapr on a KiND cluster.
+---
+
+# Set up a KiND cluster
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/)
+- [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/)
+
+> Note: For Windows, enable Virtualization in BIOS and [install Hyper-V](https://docs.microsoft.com/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/quick-start/enable-hyper-v)
+
+## Install and configure KiND
+
+Make sure you follow one of the [Installation](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start) options for KiND.
+
+In case you are using Docker Desktop, double-check that you have performed the recommended [settings](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start#settings-for-docker-desktop) (4 CPUs and 8 GiB of RAM available to Docker Engine).
+
+## Configure and create the KiND cluster
+
+1. Create a file named `kind-cluster-config.yaml`, and paste the following:
+```yaml
+kind: Cluster
+apiVersion: kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4
+nodes:
+- role: control-plane
+  kubeadmConfigPatches:
+  - |
+    kind: InitConfiguration
+    nodeRegistration:
+      kubeletExtraArgs:
+        node-labels: "ingress-ready=true"
+  extraPortMappings:
+  - containerPort: 80
+    hostPort: 8081
+    protocol: TCP
+  - containerPort: 443
+    hostPort: 8443
+    protocol: TCP
+- role: worker
+- role: worker
+```
+
+This is going to request KiND to spin up a kubernetes cluster comprised of a control plane and two worker nodes. It also allows for future setup of ingresses and exposes container ports to the host machine.
+
+2. Run the `kind create cluster` providing the cluster configuration file:
+
+```bash
+kind create cluster --config kind-cluster-config.yaml
+```
+
+Wait until the cluster is created, the output should look like this:
+
+```md
+Creating cluster "kind" ...
+ ✓ Ensuring node image (kindest/node:v1.21.1) 🖼
+ ✓ Preparing nodes 📦 📦 📦
+ ✓ Writing configuration 📜
+ ✓ Starting control-plane 🕹️
+ ✓ Installing CNI 🔌
+ ✓ Installing StorageClass 💾
+ ✓ Joining worker nodes 🚜
+Set kubectl context to "kind-kind"
+You can now use your cluster with:
+
+kubectl cluster-info --context kind-kind
+
+Thanks for using kind! 😊
+```
+
+## Dapr
+
+1. Initialize Dapr:
+```bash
+dapr init --kubernetes
+```
+
+Once Dapr finishes initializing its core components are ready to be used on the cluster. 
+
+To verify the status of these components run:
+```bash
+dapr status -k
+```
+the output should look like this:
+
+```md
+  NAME                   NAMESPACE    HEALTHY  STATUS   REPLICAS  VERSION  AGE  CREATED
+  dapr-sentry            dapr-system  True     Running  1         1.5.1    53s  2021-12-10 09:27.17
+  dapr-operator          dapr-system  True     Running  1         1.5.1    53s  2021-12-10 09:27.17
+  dapr-sidecar-injector  dapr-system  True     Running  1         1.5.1    53s  2021-12-10 09:27.17
+  dapr-dashboard         dapr-system  True     Running  1         0.9.0    53s  2021-12-10 09:27.17
+  dapr-placement-server  dapr-system  True     Running  1         1.5.1    52s  2021-12-10 09:27.18
+```
+
+2. Forward a port to [Dapr dashboard](https://docs.dapr.io/reference/cli/dapr-dashboard/):
+
+```bash
+dapr dashboard -k -p 9999
+```
+
+So that you can validate that the setup finished successfully by navigating to [http://localhost:9999](http://localhost:9999).
