Installing Kubernetes on Windows 10 Using Minikube [Snippets]

I recently started playing with Kubernetes and I used Minikube to get a working Kubernetes installation on my Windows 10 laptop. I wanted to share how to install Minkube on Windows 10 Pro (using Hyper-V).

It's quite easy to install Minikube using PowerShell (with Admin):

Invoke-WebRequest -uri https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/v0.28.2/minikube-windows-amd64.exe -OutFile minikube.exe
Invoke-WebRequest -uri https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.11.2/bin/windows/amd64/kubectl.exe -OutFile kubectl.exe
Copy-Item minikube.exe -Destination $Env:Programfiles\Minikube
Copy-Item kubectl.exe -Destination $Env:Programfiles\Minikube

Add C:\Program Files\Minikube to your Windows path:

$net = Get-NetAdapter -Name 'Wi-Fi' #assuming your network adapter is called 'Wi-Fi'
New-VMSwitch -Name "Minikube" -AllowManagementOS $True -NetAdapterName $net.Name
minikube config set vm-driver hyperv
minikube config set hyperv-virtual-switch Minikube
minikube config set memory 2048
 
minikube start
