Configuring your kind cluster

Is it possible to use a configuration file to customize your kind cluster (Multi-Node, Control-Plane HA...)

# Create a cluster with 3 control-plane nodes and 3 workers
kind create cluster --config cplane-ha.yml

# Create a cluster with 1 control-plane nodes and 3 workers
kind create cluster --config multinode.yml

See https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/#configuring-your-kind-cluster for details.
