Install Kubernetes on Windows

Tiempo de lectura: 2 minutos
Kubernetes is an open-source platform designed to automate the deployment, scaling, and operation of containerized applications. It was developed by Google and donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Kubernetes provides an environment to efficiently and scalably orchestrate and manage containers across machine clusters.

Kubernetes comes bundled with the Docker Desktop package, so let’s install this tool (https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/)

We’ll download the tool, run it, and proceed with the installation.

It will prompt for an account; create one, and you can optimize Docker a bit.

To optimize it, go to Settings > General and activate Use the WSL 2 based engine.

This will enable the hypervisor to enhance performance.

Go to Settings > Kubernetes and select Enable Kubernetes

Now click on apply and restart.

And Kubernetes is ready.

To check if it’s working, run:

kubectl version

It should return:

You now have Kubernetes installed.
