+# Overview
+
 The tests in this directory cover dynamic resource allocation support in
 Kubernetes. They do not test the correct behavior of arbitrary dynamic resource
 allocation drivers.
@@ -10,3 +12,12 @@ done for CSI mock testing. The advantage is that no separate images are needed
 for the test driver and that the e2e test has full control over all gRPC calls,
 in case that it needs that for operations like error injection or checking
 calls.
+
+# Cluster setup
+
+The container runtime must support CDI. The latest cri-o releases contain
+support, containerd 1.6.x does not. To bring up a kind cluster with containerd
+built from their main branch, use:
+
+    test/e2e/dra/kind-build-image.sh dra/node:latest && \
+    kind create cluster --config test/e2e/dra/kind.yaml --image dra/node:latest
