Why does SmartScreen warn about the installer?

The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows asks once: More info → Run anyway. The release notes carry the SHA-256 of each installer.

Yes: download the -arm64- installer.

Free forever for two clusters; Pro is free for 14 days, no card.

Does it need anything installed in the cluster?

No. It talks to the API server with your kubeconfig, as kubectl does.

KubeDrive's upgrade check: the APIs a cluster still uses that the next Kubernetes version removes, with a converted manifest

Install in a minute

KubeDrive-<version>-x64-setup.exe from the releases page, -arm64- for Arm. It adds WebView2 if the PC has none; Windows 11 has it.

Your kubeconfig as it is

KubeDrive reads kubeconfig and never writes to it; the names you give clusters stay in its own settings.

Your credentials stay on your computer

KubeDrive uses your kubeconfig and your SSO sessions, with the RBAC you already have; cluster data never reaches our servers.

Safe on production

Contexts named prod, production or live are protected from the first launch: a red frame, and you type the name to change anything.

The same app as on the Mac

Logs, terminal, YAML with a dry-run diff, Helm, port forwards, the upgrade check and the AI assistant.
