Hi there
I'm looking at Kubernetes as an ongoing increasingly used Cloud service. It can be tested individually on a Local machine via a few basic tutorials
Getting started | Kubernetes
Anybody got any experience with this -- Does it really do what it says on the Tin and is there any way to "containerize" some Windows apps via the same methodology.
Cheers

On Windows Server 2019, you can.

I went down the Kubernetes and Docker on Windows10 rabbit hole a few weeks back, all I got out of it was a big headache.
Yes, we are moving towards Kubernetes at our office. We had moved to an on-prem hybrid Docker EE implementation, then we moved over to using AWS ECS......but shortly thereafter we decided that AWS EKS is really where we want to be.
Our plan is not to run Windows in our EKS clusters. We are converting the .net apps to .net core to run them on Linux and then run them on Kubernetes.
Kubernetes is a huge monster, as z3r010 noted. We use a bunch of bolt on tools too, like Istio, Rancher, and Helm to deploy the pods. We have written custom connectors and just about have our multicloud fully functional. OnPrem Kuberentes, AWS EKS and Azure Kubernetes.
I'll be working on hundreds of Kubernetes deployments in the next 6-12 months.
Today, you can enable it pretty easily in Docker Desktop to get used to it. You can also deploy a tool called minikube for playing with Kubernetes.
