How to install Kubernetes on Windows Server 2019?

4/9/2018

A few weeks ago the Windows Server 2019 was announced as Preview with native Kubernetes Support.

Is there any documentation how to activate or install Kubernetes? I already set up a virtual server (with Desktop Feature) on my local Hyper-V, but I can not find any hint to test the preview features of Kubernetes on Windows Server 2019.

Or do I misunderstand the current Preview notes and Kubernetes is only announced but not available yet?

Kubernetes and its Windows cni plugins are in beta at the time of writing and insider build 1803 doesn't have any features/role for it (neither does dockeree though).

There are installation instructions here.

I've not found any information on what precisely is new in Server 2019 for Kubernetes...

Would be great to have powershell Install-Module/Install-Package for installation and a Windows Admin Center plugins for administering a cluster.
