+# Cilium local profile
+
+The standard k3d profile is the default quick start. This profile is for
+demonstrating Cilium with kube-proxy replacement.
+
+Create it with:
+
+```bash
+k3d cluster create --config local-quickstart/k3d-cilium-cluster-config.yaml
+```
+
+Before installing Cilium, set the API server endpoint in a temporary values
+file. The endpoint must be reachable directly from every node. Do not use the
+Kubernetes service VIP because kube-proxy is disabled during bootstrap.
+
+```bash
+kubectl config current-context
+kubectl get nodes -o wide
+cp cilium/cilium-values.yaml /tmp/cilium-values.yaml
+# Replace REPLACE_WITH_API_SERVER_DNS_OR_PRIVATE_IP with the reachable API endpoint.
+helm repo add cilium https://helm.cilium.io/
+helm repo update
+helm upgrade --install cilium cilium/cilium \
+  --namespace kube-system \
+  --version 1.20.0 \
+  --values /tmp/cilium-values.yaml
+kubectl -n kube-system rollout status daemonset/cilium --timeout=300s
+kubectl -n kube-system get pods -l k8s-app=cilium
+```
+
+Install ArgoCD only after Cilium is Ready. Apply
+`argocd/optional-apps/cilium.yaml` manually after the endpoint is configured;
+it is intentionally outside the root app-of-apps watched directory until the
+cluster has been bootstrapped without kube-proxy.
+
+Delete the profile with:
+
+```bash
+k3d cluster delete security-baseline-cilium
+```
