of a node. A Buildx node in this case could connect multiple Kubernetes nodes of
the same architecture together.
With the `kube` builder created, you can now introduce another architecture into
the mix using `--append`. For example, to add `arm64`:
```console
$ docker buildx create \
--append \
--bootstrap \
--name=kube \
--driver=kubernetes \
--platform=linux/arm64 \
--node=builder-arm64 \
--driver-opt=namespace=buildkit,nodeselector="kubernetes.io/arch=arm64"
```
Listing your builders shows both nodes for the `kube` builder:
```console
$ docker buildx ls
NAME/NODE DRIVER/ENDPOINT STATUS PLATFORMS
kube kubernetes
builder-amd64 kubernetes:///kube?deployment=builder-amd64&kubeconfig= running linux/amd64*, linux/amd64/v2, linux/amd64/v3, linux/386
builder-arm64 kubernetes:///kube?deployment=builder-arm64&kubeconfig= running linux/arm64*
```
You can now build multi-arch `amd64` and `arm64` images, by specifying those
platforms together in your build command:
```console
$ docker buildx build --builder=kube --platform=linux/amd64,linux/arm64 -t <user>/<image> --push .
```
You can repeat the `buildx create --append` command for as many architectures
that you want to support.
## Rootless mode
The Kubernetes driver supports rootless mode. For more information on how
rootless mode works, and its requirements, see
[here](https://github.com/moby/buildkit/blob/master/docs/rootless.md).
To turn it on in your cluster, you can use the `rootless=true` driver option:
```console
$ docker buildx create \
--name=kube \
--driver=kubernetes \
--driver-opt=namespace=buildkit,rootless=true
```
This will create your pods without `securityContext.privileged`.
Requires Kubernetes version 1.19 or later. Using Ubuntu as the host kernel is
recommended.
## Example: Creating a Buildx builder in Kubernetes
This guide shows you how to:
- Create a namespace for your Buildx resources
- Create a Kubernetes builder.
- List the available builders
- Build an image using your Kubernetes builders
Prerequisites:
- You have an existing Kubernetes cluster. If you don't already have one, you
can follow along by installing
[minikube](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/).
- The cluster you want to connect to is accessible via the `kubectl` command,
