Install Kubectl on windows 10

Kubectl is a tool that allows you to manage your kubernetes (k8s) clusters

Install Kubectl

On windows 10 it's fairly simple to install kubectl by leveraging chocolatey

choco install kubernetes-cli

Now you should be able to verify kubectl is working as expected.

PS ...\kubernetes> kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"17", GitVersion:"v1.17.1", GitCommit:"d224476cd0730baca2b6e357d144171ed74192d6", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2020-01-14T21:04:32Z", GoVersion:"go1.13.5", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"windows/amd64"}
Server Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"17", GitVersion:"v1.17.3", GitCommit:"06ad960bfd03b39c8310aaf92d1e7c12ce618213", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2020-02-11T18:07:13Z", GoVersion:"go1.13.6", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}

Now that you have kubectl running you're good to start managing your kubernetes (k8s) clusters.
