Kubernetes on Windows

The tooling for K8s on Windows has come a long way over the last couple of years and is starting to stabilise. Minikube 'just works' and you no longer need to fight it (stopping the cluster works now, yay!).

However the tooling has also become so prolific it tends to end up in various places on your machine nested inside other tools. So lets straighten that out.

Kubectl

Windows ends up with a mess of kubectl versions kicking around - VS 2019 has its own, Docker for Windows has its own, Azure Dev Spaces has its own, you may have downloaded the MSI, you may have installed it via Chocolatey.

Andrew is a Principal Consultant with Readify, and has participated on enough interesting gigs in his time to have a tale or five to tell. Like many he has made some strong opinions along the way - some of which even pertain to software; but is always ready to revise them if a convincing argument (and possibly a cleansing ale) is supplied!

UPDATE

Step 1 & 2 are no longer enough, as git will nag about irreversable conversions regardless of you asking it to convert things.

See This issue for an explanation.

Tl;Dr: git config --global core.safecrlf false

Step 1:

A pyramid, much like Maslow's heirarchy of needs

Peak: Impact and Purpose

Seeing the results of the physical and emotional investment in our work, regularly
Realizing our visions
Validation of the efforts we expended and decisions we made with autonomy
Quantifying and celebrating the impact we have had on peoples lives via our work
Recieving reward, praise, or other kind of recognition for our accomplishments
Outcomes over output
