Docker Desktop automatically sets up Kubernetes for you. You'll know that Kubernetes has been successfully enabled when you see a green light beside 'Kubernetes _running_' in Settings.\n\nTo confirm that Kubernetes is up and running, create a text file called pod.yaml with the following content\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```yaml\n    apiVersion: v1\n    kind: Pod\n    metadata:\n      name: demo\n    spec:\n      containers:\n        - name: testpod\n          image: alpine:latest\n          command: [\"ping\", \"8.8.8.8\"]\n```\n\nIn a terminal, navigate to where you created pod.yaml and create your pod\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n    $ kubectl apply -f pod.yaml\n```\n\nCheck that your pod is up and running\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n    $ kubectl get pods\n```\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```shell\n    NAME      READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE\n    demo      1/1       Running   0          4s\n```\n\nCheck that you get the logs you'd expect for a ping process\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n    $ kubectl logs demo\n```\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```shell\n    PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8): 56 data bytes\n    64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: seq=0 ttl=37 time=21.393 ms\n    64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: seq=1 ttl=37 time=15.320 ms\n    64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: seq=2 ttl=37 time=11.111 ms\n    ...\n```\n\nFinally, tear down your test pod\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n    $ kubectl delete -f pod.yaml\n```\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
