<p>Can kubernetes be used without linux? There is nothing other than this document: <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/windows/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/windows/</a></p>

<p>Kubernetes is still very much Linux centric. There is ongoing work to have Windows a more important player in the Kubernetes space but it's all tech previews and early betas AFAIK. </p>

<p>This is one of the most recent news I can find about Kubernetes and Windows from Docker. It's a Tech Preview, <a href="https://blog.docker.com/2018/06/kubernetes-on-windows-server-with-docker-ee/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://blog.docker.com/2018/06/kubernetes-on-windows-server-with-docker-ee/</a> :</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Docker and Microsoft have been working together since 2014 to bring
  containers to Windows and .NET applications. Today at DockerCon, we
  share the next step in this partnership with the preview and
  demonstration of Kubernetes on Windows Server with Docker Enterprise
  Edition.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>It looks like Red Hat is working on Windows support as well, <a href="https://blog.openshift.com/red-hat-openshift-and-microsoft-windows-containers/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://blog.openshift.com/red-hat-openshift-and-microsoft-windows-containers/</a> :</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The Red Hat OpenShift and Microsoft Windows engineering teams have
  been working on bringing Windows containers to OpenShift for the past
  several months. The teams publicly committed to the project back in
  August. Over the course of that time, Microsoft has been working with
  the Kubernetes community to add the core competencies required to make
  the project possible. Windows support in Kubernetes is really the
  first time the upstream project has been extended to support a popular
  operating system other than the Linux derivatives.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I would recommend that you focus on Kubernetes on Linux for the years to come if you're serious about Kubernetes. Windows support is more a sandbox early stage right now.</p>
