Create Cluster Command
kind create cluster
Creating cluster "kind" ...
✓ Ensuring node image (kindest/node:v1.21.1) 🖼
✓ Preparing nodes 📦
✓ Writing configuration 📜
✓ Starting control-plane 🕹️
✓ Installing CNI 🔌
✓ Installing StorageClass 💾
Set kubectl context to "kind-kind"
You can now use your cluster with:
kubectl cluster-info --context kind-kind
Thanks for using kind! 😊
kubectl cluster-info --context kind-kind
Kubernetes master is running at https://127.0.0.1:56926
CoreDNS is running at https://127.0.0.1:56926/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-dns:dns/proxy
To further debug and diagnose cluster problems, use 'kubectl cluster-info dump'.

Official kind node images target only x86 systems. Although kind can be used to generate ARM64 images, it can do so only after building Kubernetes from sources and this is not very practical when using Raspberry Pi for example.
Here's an example of how to start a single node Kubernetes cluster with kind:
kind create cluster --image rossgeorgiev/kind-node-arm64:v1.20.0
context command
kubectl cluster-info --context kind-kind
delete cluster
kind get clusters
kind delete cluster
