Does kubernetes come with docker by default

Question

According to this link docker is supporting kubernetes on linux, mac and windows. I can't make out whether or not kubernetes is installed within docker like swarm is. So is it true that with a normal install of docker it will also install kubernetes?

Answer 1

I would not say it'll be installed but you'll get the chance to do it if you want to.

Here's the about page:

Version 18.05.0-ce-win67 (18263) Channel: edge 0c7f1aa

If you navigate to the Settings page (Docker CE for windows in my case), and select to enable Kubernetes, this is what you get:

If you choose to install it...

Wait a little...

After completion you can use your kubernetes - through regular docker stack * commands - to run a single-node cluster locally while developing. Which is really nice!

You can use the kubectl CLI directly also. It should be already in your PATH. The CLI is located at C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin.

Hope this helps!
