Run Kubernetes in Windows 11 with Chocolatey and Minkube

Many businesses are moving to containerized workloads using Kubernetes. Kubernetes is arguably the single most important new skill to learn moving forward for on-premises and cloud environments. However, learning and spinning up Kubernetes clusters is not for the faint of heart. Minikube makes installing a Kubernetes cluster extremely easy.

In this video, we take a look at how to run a Kubernetes cluster on Windows 11 using Chocolatey and Minikube. In just a few minutes, we can have a fully functional Kubernetes cluster up and running allowing us to use Kubectl and install applications.

In this step-by-step video, we take a look at how to install Chocolatey on Windows 11, the Hyper-V requirements, and also installing Minikube using Chocolatey.
