Kubernetes Cloud Provider for KIND

KIND has demonstrated to be a very versatile, efficient, cheap and very useful tool for Kubernetes testing. However, KIND doesn't offer capabilities for testing all the features that depend on cloud-providers, specifically the Load Balancers, causing a gap on testing and a bad user experience, since is not easy to connect to the applications running on the cluster.

cloud-provider-kind aims to fill this gap and provide an agnostic and cheap solution for all the Kubernetes features that depend on a cloud-provider using KIND.
